Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBDEED FFGHHG IJKJ LMNNMOMOBBP| We stood among the boats and nets | A |
| We saw the swift clouds fall | B |
| We watched the schooners scamper in | C |
| Before the sudden squall | B |
| The jolly squall strove lustily | B |
| To whelm the sheltered street | D |
| The merry squall that piled the seas | E |
| About the patient headland's knees | E |
| And chased the fishing fleet | D |
| - | |
| She laughed as if with wings her mirth | F |
| Arose and left the wingless earth | F |
| And all tame things behind | G |
| Rose like a bird wild with delight | H |
| Whose briny pinions flash in flight | H |
| Through storm and sun and wind | G |
| - | |
| Her laughter sought those skies because | I |
| Their mood and hers were one | J |
| For she and I were drunk with love | K |
| And life and storm and sun | J |
| - | |
| And while she laughed the Sun himself | L |
| Leapt laughing through the rain | M |
| And struck his harper hand along | N |
| The ringing coast and that wind song | N |
| Whose joy is mixed with pain | M |
| Forgot the undertone of grief | O |
| And joined the jocund strain | M |
| And over every hidden reef | O |
| Whereon the waves broke merrily | B |
| Rose jets and sprays of melody | B |
| And leapt and laughed again | P |
