Nineteen Nine Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEDFGHGIDCDED| There's a light out there in the nearer east | A |
| In the dawn of Nineteen Nine | B |
| There s the old ghost light in the salty yeast | A |
| Where the black rocks meet the brine | B |
| Here s the same old strife and toil in vain | C |
| Here s the same old hope and doubt | D |
| Here s the same old useless care and pain | C |
| And the sea is my way out | D |
| My dear | E |
| The sea is my way out | D |
| Tis a grey and a sad old sea for me | F |
| With a growing grey head too | G |
| Oh the heads were brown and the eyes were bright | H |
| When the sea was white and blue | G |
| It was round the world and home again | I |
| We could turn and turn about | D |
| And the sea means exile now in vain | C |
| But the sea is my way out | D |
| My dear | E |
| The sea is my way out | D |
