Sea-gulls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACCDD EFEFFBBFor one carved instant as they flew | A |
The language had no simile | A |
Silver crystal ivory | B |
Were tarnished Etched upon the horizon blue | A |
The frieze must go unchallenged for the lift | C |
And carriage of the wings would stain the drift | C |
Of stars against a tropic indigo | D |
Or dull the parable of snow | D |
- | |
Now settling one by one | E |
Within green hollows or where curled | F |
Crests caught the spectrum from the sun | E |
A thousand wings are furled | F |
No clay born lilies of the world | F |
Could blow as free | B |
As those wild orchids of the sea | B |
