By The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ AKAL AMAM| I am longing to dwell by the sea | A |
| And dip in the surf every day | B |
| And height of subaqueous glee | A |
| With the sharks and the porpoises play | B |
| - | |
| To novelty ever inclined | C |
| Instead of a calm evening sail | D |
| 'Twould suit my adventurous mind | C |
| To ride on the back of a whale | D |
| - | |
| I want to disport on the rocks | E |
| Like a mythical mermaiden belle | F |
| And comb out my watery locks | E |
| Then dive to my cavernous cell | F |
| - | |
| I want to discover what lends | G |
| Such terror to all timid folks | H |
| That serpent whose mystery tends | G |
| To make one believe it a hoax | H |
| - | |
| They say he's been captured at last | I |
| The news is too good to be true | J |
| He's slippery cunning and fast | I |
| And likes notoriety too | J |
| - | |
| Once had I such longings to be | A |
| A sailor those wishes are o'er | K |
| But ever in dreams of the sea | A |
| My horoscope rests on the shore | L |
| - | |
| Oh give me a home by the sea | A |
| A cottage a cabin a tent | M |
| Existence should ecstasy be | A |
| Till summer were joyfully spent | M |
