Sea-piece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD CCCC CECE CFCF AGAG| SUBLIME is thy prospect thou proud rolling Ocean | A |
| And Fancy surveys thee with solemn delight | B |
| When thy mountainous billows are wild in commotion | A |
| And the tempest is rous'd by the spirits of night | B |
| - | |
| When the moon beams thro' winter clouds faintly appearing | C |
| At intervals gleam on the dark swelling wave | D |
| And the mariner dubious now hoping now fearing | C |
| May hear the stern Genius of hurricanes rave | D |
| - | |
| But now when thine anger has long been subsiding | C |
| And the tempest has folded the might of its wing | C |
| How clear is thy surface in loveliness gliding | C |
| For April has open'd the portals of spring | C |
| - | |
| Now soft on thy bosom the orient is beaming | C |
| And tremulous breezes are waving thy breast | E |
| On thy mirror the clouds and the shadows are streaming | C |
| And morning and glory the picture have drest | E |
| - | |
| No gale but the balmy Favonian is blowing | C |
| In coral caves resting the winds are asleep | F |
| And rich in the sun beam yon pendants are glowing | C |
| That tinge with their colors the silvery deep | F |
| - | |
| Yet smile or be dreadful thou still changing Ocean | A |
| Tremendous or lovely resistless or still | G |
| I view thee adoring with hallow'd emotion | A |
| The Pow'r that can hush or arouse thee at will | G |
