Plaint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA AAA| Dark deep and cold the current flows | A |
| Unto the sea where no wind blows | A |
| Seeking the land which no one knows | A |
| - | |
| O'er its sad gloom still comes and goes | A |
| The mingled wail of friends and foes | A |
| Borne to the land which no one knows | A |
| - | |
| Why shrieks for help yon wretch who goes | A |
| With millions from a world of woes | A |
| Unto the land which no one knows | A |
| - | |
| Though myriads go with him who goes | A |
| Alone he goes where no wind blows | A |
| Unto the land which no one knows | A |
| - | |
| For all must go where no wind blows | A |
| And none can go for him who goes | A |
| None none return whence no one knows | A |
| - | |
| Yet why should he who shrieking goes | A |
| With millions from a world of woes | A |
| Reunion seek with it or those | A |
| - | |
| Alone with God where no wind blows | A |
| And Death his shadow doom'd he goes | A |
| That God is there the shadow shows | A |
| - | |
| O shoreless Deep where no wind blows | A |
| And thou O Land which no one knows | A |
| That God is All His shadow shows | A |
