Lie Still, Sleep Becalmed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DADE FBAGBA| Lie still sleep becalmed sufferer with the wound | A |
| In the throat burning and turning All night afloat | B |
| On the silent sea we have heard the sound | A |
| That came from the wound wrapped in the salt sheet | C |
| - | |
| Under the mile off moon we trembled listening | D |
| To the sea sound flowing like blood from the loud wound | A |
| And when the salt sheet broke in a storm of singing | D |
| The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind | E |
| - | |
| Open a pathway through the slow sad sail | F |
| Throw wide to the wind the gates of the wandering boat | B |
| For my voyage to begin to the end of my wound | A |
| We heard the sea sound sing we saw the salt sheet tell | G |
| Lie still sleep becalmed hide the mouth in the throat | B |
| Or we shall obey and ride with you through the drowned | A |
