Agassiz Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| I 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
