In The Enchanted Tower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG

THE waves in thunderous menace breakA
Upon the rocks below my towerB
And none will dare the Sea king's powerB
And venture shipwreck for my sakeA
-
Yet once my lamp a path of lightC
Across the darkling sea had castD
I saw a sail at last at lastD
It came towards me through the nightC
-
My lamp had been the beacon setE
To lead the ship through mist and foamF
The ship that came to take me homeF
To that far land I half forgetE
-
-
But since my tower is built so highG
And surf robed rocks curl hid belowH
I quenched my lamp and weeping lowH
I saw my ship go safely byG
