By The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDDFGFGHIHII| The Caves of the sea have been troubled to day | A |
| With the water which whitens and widens and fills | B |
| And a boat with our brother was driven away | A |
| By a wind that came down from the tops of the hills | B |
| Behold I have seen on the threshold again | C |
| A face in a dazzle of hair | D |
| Do you know that she watches the rain and the main | E |
| And the waves which are moaning there | D |
| Ah moaning and moaning there | D |
| Now turn from your casements and fasten your doors | F |
| And cover your faces and pray if you can | G |
| There are wails in the wind there are sighs on the shores | F |
| And alas for the fate of a storm beaten man | G |
| Oh dark falls the night on the rain rutted verge | H |
| So sad with the sound of the foam | I |
| Oh wild is the sweep and the swirl of the surge | H |
| And his boat may never come home | I |
| Ah never and never come home | I |
