Tarantella Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC ABDEBD FGHFGH

Sad as he sits on the white sea stoneA
And the suave sea chuckles and turns to the moonB
And the moon significant smiles at the cliffs and the bouldersC
He sits like a shade by the flood aloneA
While I dance a tarantella on the rocks and the croonB
Of my mockery mocks at him over the waves' bright shouldersC
-
What can I do but dance aloneA
Dance to the sliding sea and the moonB
For the moon on my breast and the air on my limbs and the foam on my feetD
For surely this earnest man has noneE
Of the night in his soul and none of the tuneB
Of the waters within him only the world's old wisdom to bleatD
-
I wish a wild sea fellow would come down the glittering shingleF
A soulless neckar with winking seas in his eyesG
And falling waves in his arms and the lost soul's kissH
On his lips I long to be soulless I tingleF
To touch the sea in the last surpriseG
Of fiery coldness to be gone in a lost soul's blissH
