In The Enchanted Tower Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHGTHE waves in thunderous menace break | A |
Upon the rocks below my tower | B |
And none will dare the Sea king's power | B |
And venture shipwreck for my sake | A |
- | |
Yet once my lamp a path of light | C |
Across the darkling sea had cast | D |
I saw a sail at last at last | D |
It came towards me through the night | C |
- | |
My lamp had been the beacon set | E |
To lead the ship through mist and foam | F |
The ship that came to take me home | F |
To that far land I half forget | E |
- | |
- | |
But since my tower is built so high | G |
And surf robed rocks curl hid below | H |
I quenched my lamp and weeping low | H |
I saw my ship go safely by | G |
