When Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE BGCGHICI DABAJEDE| I dwell in the western inland | A |
| Afar from the sounding sea | B |
| But I seem to hear it sobbing | C |
| And calling aloud to me | B |
| And my heart cries out for the ocean | D |
| As a child for its mother's breast | E |
| And I long to lie on its waters | F |
| And be lulled in its arms to rest | E |
| - | |
| I can close my eyes and fancy | B |
| That I hear its mighty roar | G |
| And I see its blue waves splashing | C |
| And plunging against the shore | G |
| And the white foam caps the billow | H |
| And the sea gulls wheel and cry | I |
| And the cool wild wind is blowing | C |
| And the ships go sailing by | I |
| - | |
| Oh wonderful mighty ocean | D |
| When shall I ever stand | A |
| Where my heart has gone already | B |
| There on thy gleaming strand | A |
| When shall I ever wander | J |
| Away from the inland west | E |
| And strand by thy side dear ocean | D |
| And rock on thy heaving breast | E |
