Fragment - August 18, 1847 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGHIJKLMN| O faithful indefatigable tides | A |
| That evermore upon God's errands go | B |
| Now seaward bearing tidings of the land | C |
| Now landward bearing tidings of the sea | D |
| And filling every frith and estuary | D |
| Each arm of the great sea each little creek | E |
| Each thread and filament of water courses | F |
| Full with your ministration of delight | G |
| Under the rafters of this wooden bridge | H |
| I see you come and go sometimes in haste | I |
| To reach your journey's end which being done | J |
| With feet unrested ye return again | K |
| And recommence the never ending task | L |
| Patient whatever burdens ye may bear | M |
| And fretted only by the impeding rocks | N |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
