My Bark Is Out Upon The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIKLMLM| My bark is out upon the sea | A |
| The moon's above | B |
| Her light a presence seems to me | A |
| Like woman's love | B |
| My native land I've left behind | C |
| Afar I roam | D |
| In other climes no hearts I'll find | C |
| Like those at home | D |
| - | |
| Of all yon sisterhood of stars | E |
| But one is true | F |
| She paves my path with silver bars | E |
| And beams like you | F |
| Whose purity the waves recall | G |
| In music's flow | H |
| As round my bark they rise and fall | G |
| In liquid snow | H |
| - | |
| The fresh'ning breeze now swells our sails | I |
| A storm is on | J |
| The weary moon's dim lustre fails | I |
| The stars are gone | K |
| Not so fades Love's eternal light | L |
| When storm clouds weep | M |
| I know one heart's with me to night | L |
| Upon the deep | M |
