The Wanderer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DEFFE GHIIH DAEEA| Upon a mountain height far from the sea | A |
| I found a shell | B |
| And to my listening ear the lonely thing | C |
| Ever a song of ocean seemed to sing | C |
| Ever a tale of ocean seemed to tell | B |
| - | |
| How came the shell upon that mountain height | D |
| Ah who can say | E |
| Whether there dropped by some too careless hand | F |
| Or whether there cast when Ocean swept the Land | F |
| Ere the Eternal had ordained the Day | E |
| - | |
| Strange was it not Far from its native deep | G |
| One song it sang | H |
| Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide | I |
| Sang of the misty sea profound and wide | I |
| Ever with echoes of the ocean rang | H |
| - | |
| And as the shell upon the mountain height | D |
| Sings of the sea | A |
| So do I ever leagues and leagues away | E |
| So do I ever wandering where I may | E |
| Sing O my home sing O my home of thee | A |
