Always At Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEEEFF EEEEGH| Always at sea I think about the dead | A |
| On barques invisible they seem to sail | B |
| The self same course and from the decks cry 'Hail' | B |
| Then I recall old words that they have said | A |
| And see their faces etched upon the mist | C |
| Dear faces I have kissed | C |
| - | |
| Always the dead seem very close at sea | D |
| The coarse vibrations of the earth debar | E |
| Our spirit friends from coming where we are | E |
| But through God's ether unimpeded free | E |
| They wing their way the ocean deeps above | F |
| And find the hearts that love | F |
| - | |
| Always at sea my dead come very near | E |
| A growing host some old in spirit lore | E |
| And some who crossed to find the other shore | E |
| But yesterday All all I see and hear | E |
| With inner senses while the voice of faith | G |
| Proclaims there is no death | H |
