Songs Of The Fleet - The Middle Watch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD AAAAAA EFEF GHGH AAAAAA| In a blue dusk the ship astern | A |
| Uplifts her slender spars | B |
| With golden lights that seem to burn | A |
| Among the silver stars | B |
| Like fleets along a cloudy shore | C |
| The constellations creep | D |
| Like planets on the ocean floor | C |
| Our silent course we keep | D |
| - | |
| And over the endless plain | A |
| Out of the night forlorn | A |
| Rises a faint refrain | A |
| A song of the day to be born | A |
| Watch oh watch till ye find again | A |
| Life and the land of morn | A |
| - | |
| From a dim West to a dark East | E |
| Our lines unwavering head | F |
| As if their motion long had ceased | E |
| And Time itself were dead | F |
| - | |
| Vainly we watch the deep below | G |
| Vainly the void above | H |
| They died a thousand years ago | G |
| Life and the land we love | H |
| - | |
| But over the endless plain | A |
| Out of the night forlorn | A |
| Rises a faint refrain | A |
| A song of the day to be born | A |
| Watch oh watch till ye find again | A |
| Life and the land of morn | A |
