Lost Anchors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCDEED| Like a dry fish flung inland far from shore | A |
| There lived a sailor warped and ocean browned | B |
| Who told of an old vessel harbor drowned | B |
| And out of mind a century before | A |
| Where divers on descending to explore | A |
| A legend that had lived its way around | B |
| The world of ships in the dark hulk had found | B |
| Anchors which had been seized and seen no more | A |
| - | |
| Improving a dry leisure to invest | C |
| Their misadventure with a manifest | C |
| Analogy that he may read who runs | D |
| The sailor made it old as ocean grass | E |
| Telling of much that once had come to pass | E |
| With him whose mother should have had no sons | D |
