Flower-de-luce: The Bells Of Lynn. Heard At Nahant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BA CA CA CA DA EA EA FAO curfew of the setting sun O Bells of Lynn | A |
O requiem of the dying day O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
From the dark belfries of yon cloud cathedral wafted | B |
Your sounds aerial seem to float O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
Borne on the evening wind across the crimson twilight | C |
O'er land and sea they rise and fall O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
The fisherman in his boat far out beyond the headland | C |
Listens and leisurely rows ashore O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
Over the shining sands the wandering cattle homeward | C |
Follow each other at your call O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
The distant lighthouse hears and with his flaming signal | D |
Answers you passing the watchword on O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
And down the darkening coast run the tumultuous surges | E |
And clap their hands and shout to you O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
Till from the shuddering sea with your wild incantations | E |
Ye summon up the spectral moon O Bells of Lynn | A |
- | |
And startled at the sight like the weird woman of Endor | F |
Ye cry aloud and then are still O Bells of Lynn | A |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
