Seraphita Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| Come not before me now O visionary face | A |
| Me tempest tost and borne along life's passionate sea | B |
| Troublous and dark and stormy though my passage be | B |
| Not here and now may we commingle or embrace | A |
| Lest the loud anguish of the waters should efface | A |
| The bright illumination of thy memory | B |
| Which dominates the night rest far away from me | B |
| In the serenity of thine abiding place | A |
| - | |
| But when the storm is highest and the thunders blare | C |
| And sea and sky are riven O moon of all my night | D |
| Stoop down but once in pity of my great despair | C |
| And let thine hand though over late to help alight | D |
| But once upon my pale eyes and my drowning hair | C |
| Before the great waves conquer in the last vain fight | D |
