The Sea Limits Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEA FGGFHHF IJJIKKI LMILNNL| Consider the sea's listless chime | A |
| Time's self it is made audible | B |
| The murmur of the earth's own shell | C |
| Secret continuance sublime | A |
| Is the sea's end our sight may pass | D |
| No furlong further Since time was | E |
| This sound hath told the lapse of time | A |

| No quiet which is death's it hath | F |
| The mournfulness of ancient life | G |
| Enduring always at dull strife | G |
| As the world's heart of rest and wrath | F |
| Its painful pulse is in the sands | H |
| Last utterly the whole sky stands | H |
| Gray and not known along its path | F |
| - | |
| Listen alone beside the sea | I |
| Listen alone among the woods | J |
| Those voices of twin solitudes | J |
| Shall have one sound alike to thee | I |
| Hark where the murmurs of thronged men | K |
| Surge and sink back and surge again | K |
| Still the one voice of wave and tree | I |
| - | |
| Gather a shell from the strown beach | L |
| And listen at its lips they sigh | M |
| The same desire and mystery | I |
| The echo of the whole sea's speech | L |
| And all mankind is thus at heart | N |
| Not anything but what thou art | N |
| And Earth Sea Man are all in each | L |
