The Gulf Stream Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| Skilled mariner and counted sane and wise | A |
| That was a curious thing which chanced to me | B |
| So good a sailor on so fair a sea | B |
| With favouring winds and blue unshadowed skies | A |
| Led by the faithful beacon of Love's eyes | A |
| Past reef and shoal my life boat bounded free | B |
| And fearless of all changes that might be | B |
| Under calm waves where many a sunk rock lies | A |
| - | |
| A golden dawn yet suddenly my barque | C |
| Strained at the sails as in a cyclone's blast | D |
| And battled with an unseen current's force | E |
| For we had entered when the night was dark | C |
| That old tempestuous Gulf Stream of the Past | D |
| But for love's eyes I had not kept the course | E |
