Agassiz Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDEI stand again on the familiar shore | A |
And hear the waves of the distracted sea | B |
Piteously calling and lamenting thee | B |
And waiting restless at thy cottage door | A |
The rocks the sea weed on the ocean floor | A |
The willows in the meadow and the free | B |
Wild winds of the Atlantic welcome me | B |
Then why shouldst thou be dead and come no more | A |
Ah why shouldst thou be dead when common men | C |
Are busy with their trivial affairs | D |
Having and holding Why when thou hadst read | E |
Nature's mysterious manuscript and then | C |
Wast ready to reveal the truth it bears | D |
Why art thou silent Why shouldst thou be dead | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
