Tides Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAABBCCAA| O patient shore thou canst not go to meet | A |
| Thy love the restless sea how comfortest | A |
| Thou all thy loneliness Art thou at rest | A |
| When loosing his strong arms from round thy feet | A |
| He turns away Know'st thou however sweet | A |
| That other shore may be that to thy breast | A |
| He must return And when in sterner test | A |
| He folds thee to a heart which does not beat | A |
| Wraps thee in ice and gives no smile no kiss | B |
| To break long wintry days still dost thou miss | B |
| Naught from thy trust Still wait unfaltering | C |
| The higher warmer waves which leap in spring | C |
| O sweet wise shore to be so satisfied | A |
| O heart learn from the shore Love has a tide | A |
