A Sea-spell Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BCCBBDDDEFFEDD| For one of his own pictures | A |
| - | |
| Her lute hangs shadowed in the apple tree | B |
| While flashing fingers weave the sweet strung spell | C |
| Between its chords and as the wild notes swell | C |
| The sea bird for those branches leaves the sea | B |
| But to what sound her listening ear stoops she | B |
| What netherworld gulf whispers doth she hear | D |
| In answering echoes from what planisphere | D |
| Along the wind along the estuary | D |
| She sinks into her spell and when full soon | E |
| Her lips move and she soars into her song | F |
| What creatures of the midmost main shall throng | F |
| In furrowed self clouds to the summoning rune | E |
| Till he the fated mariner hears her cry | D |
| And up her rock bare breasted comes to die | D |
