Not Anchored Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAB CCC BBB DDD| My heart is like a ship that finds no rest | A |
| Tossed here and there upon the stormy breast | A |
| Of loves of many hearts too oft conferred | B |
| - | |
| Thy love is like the harbour safe and still | C |
| Into whose calm that ship may glide at will | C |
| Under the slope of God's Eternal Will | C |
| - | |
| So near the perfect peace that knows no word | B |
| Yet with an empty white emotion stirred | B |
| It folds its wings like some contented bird | B |
| - | |
| At rest and yet not anchored and some day | D |
| Out of the restful peace of this calm bay | D |
| The winds of Fate will drift it far away | D |
