Ebb-tide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF| NOW the vexed clouds wind driven spread wings of white | A |
| Long leaning wings across the sea and land | B |
| The waves creep back bequeathing to our sight | A |
| The treasure house of their deserted sand | B |
| And where the nearer waves curl white and low | C |
| Knee deep in swirling brine the slow foot shrimpers go | C |
| - | |
| - | |
| Pale breadth of sand where clamorous gulls confer | D |
| Marked with broad arrows by their planted feet | E |
| White rippled pools where late deep waters were | D |
| And ever the white waves marshalled in retreat | E |
| And the grey wind in sole supremacy | F |
| O'er opal and amber cold of darkening sky and sea | F |
