Where Once The Waters Of Your Face Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF DBFGHF IJFKLM NIFOIF| Where once the waters of your face | A |
| Spun to my screws your dry ghost blows | B |
| The dead turns up its eye | C |
| Where once the mermen through your ice | D |
| Pushed up their hair the dry wind steers | E |
| Through salt and root and roe | F |
| - | |
| Where once your green knots sank their splice | D |
| Into the tided cord there goes | B |
| The green unraveller | F |
| His scissors oiled his knife hung loose | G |
| To cut the channels at their source | H |
| And lay the wet fruits low | F |
| - | |
| Invisible your clocking tides | I |
| Break on the lovebeds of the weeds | J |
| The weed of love's left dry | F |
| There round about your stones the shades | K |
| Of children go who from their voids | L |
| Cry to the dolphined sea | M |
| - | |
| Dry as a tomb your coloured lids | N |
| Shall not be latched while magic glides | I |
| Sage on the earth and sky | F |
| There shall be corals in your beds | O |
| There shall be serpents in your tides | I |
| Till all our sea faiths die | F |
