The Suitors Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABA DEFDED AGHAGA IJKIJI| There is a little Bungalow | A |
| Perched on a granite ledge | B |
| And at its feet two suitors meet | C |
| I watch them and I know | A |
| One waits outside the casement edge | B |
| One paces to and fro | A |
| - | |
| The Patient Rock speaks not a word | D |
| The Sea goes up and down | E |
| And sings full oft in cadence soft | F |
| I listen and have heard | D |
| Again he wears an angry frown | E |
| By jealous passion stirred | D |
| - | |
| This dawn the Rock was all aglow | A |
| Far out the mad Sea went | G |
| Beyond the raft like one gone daft | H |
| I saw them and I know | A |
| While radiant and well content | G |
| Smiled down the Bungalow | A |
| - | |
| That was at Dawn ere day had set | I |
| The Sea with pleading voice | J |
| Came back to woo his love anew | K |
| I saw them when they met | I |
| And now I know not which her choice | J |
| The Rock's gray face was wet | I |
