Sea-gulls Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABACCDD EFEFFBB| For 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 |
