Lullaby; By The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACCB DBDEEB FBFGGB CBCAAB HBHFFB| Fair is the castle up on the hill | A |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| The night is fair and the waves are still | A |
| And the wind is singing to you and to me | C |
| In this lowly home beside the sea | C |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| - | |
| On yonder hill is store of wealth | D |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| And revellers drink to a little one's health | D |
| But you and I bide night and day | E |
| For the other love that has sailed away | E |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| - | |
| See not dear eyes the forms that creep | F |
| Ghostlike O my own | B |
| Out of the mists of the murmuring deep | F |
| Oh see them not and make no cry | G |
| Till the angels of death have passed us by | G |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| - | |
| Ah little they reck of you and me | C |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| In our lonely home beside the sea | C |
| They seek the castle up on the hill | A |
| And there they will do their ghostly will | A |
| Hushaby O my own | B |
| - | |
| Here by the sea a mother croons | H |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
| In yonder castle a mother swoons | H |
| While the angels go down to the misty deep | F |
| Bearing a little one fast asleep | F |
| Hushaby sweet my own | B |
