In The Harbour: Becalmed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHH| Becalmed upon the sea of Thought | A |
| Still unattained the land it sought | A |
| My mind with loosely hanging sails | B |
| Lies waiting the auspicious gales | B |
| - | |
| On either side behind before | C |
| The ocean stretches like a floor | C |
| A level floor of amethyst | D |
| Crowned by a golden dome of mist | D |

| Blow breath of inspiration blow | E |
| Shake and uplift this golden glow | E |
| And fill the canvas of the mind | F |
| With wafts of thy celestial wind | F |

| Blow breath of song until I feel | G |
| The straining sail the lifting keel | G |
| The life of the awakening sea | H |
| Its motion and its mystery | H |
