The Mariner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BAAAB CDDDC EDFFE GHHHG DIIID| Wreck and stray and castaway SWINBURNE | A |
| - | |
| Once more adrift | B |
| O'er dappling sea and broad lagoon | A |
| O'er frowning cliff and yellow dune | A |
| The long warm lights of afternoon | A |
| Like jewel dustings sift | B |
| - | |
| Once more awake | C |
| I dreamed an hour of port and quay | D |
| Of anchorage not meant for me | D |
| The sea the sea the hungry sea | D |
| Came rolling up the break | C |
| - | |
| Once more afloat | E |
| The billows on my moorings press't | D |
| They drove me from my moment's rest | F |
| And now a portless sea I breast | F |
| And shelterless my boat | E |
| - | |
| Once more away | G |
| The harbour lights are growing dim | H |
| The shore is but a purple rim | H |
| The sea outstretches grey and grim | H |
| Away away away | G |
| - | |
| Once more at sea | D |
| The old old sea I used to sail | I |
| The battling tide the blowing gale | I |
| The waves with ceaseless under wail | I |
| The life that used to be | D |
