Sea-shells Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFGGAA| I gathered shells upon the sand | A |
| Each shell a little perfect thing | B |
| So frail yet potent to withstand | A |
| The mountain waves' wild buffeting | B |
| Through storms no ship could dare to brave | C |
| The little shells float lightly save | C |
| All that they might have lost of fine | D |
| Shape and soft colour crystalline | D |
| - | |
| Yet I amid the world's wild surge | E |
| Doubt if my soul can face the strife | F |
| The waves of circumstance that urge | E |
| That slight ship on the rocks of life | F |
| O soul be brave for He who saves | G |
| The frail shell in the giant waves | G |
| Will bring thy puny bark to land | A |
| Safe in the hollow of His hand | A |
