First Sight Of The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDC| I do remember how when very young | A |
| I saw the great sea first and heard its swell | B |
| As I drew nearer caught within the spell | B |
| Of its vast size and its mysterious tongue | A |
| How the floor trembled and the dark boat swung | A |
| With a man in it and a great wave fell | B |
| Within a stone's cast Words may never tell | B |
| The passion of the moment when I flung | A |
| All childish records by and felt arise | C |
| A thing that died no more An awful power | D |
| I claimed with trembling hands and eager eyes | C |
| Mine mine for ever an immortal dower | E |
| The noise of waters soundeth to this hour | D |
| When I look seaward through the quiet skies | C |
