In The Harbour: Possibilities Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCACCCCCCWhere are the Poets unto whom belong | A |
The Olympian heights whose singing shafts were sent | B |
Straight to the mark and not from bows half bent | B |
But with the utmost tension of the thong | A |
Where are the stately argosies of song | A |
Whose rushing keels made music as they went | B |
Sailing in search of some new continent | C |
With all sail set and steady winds and strong | A |
Perhaps there lives some dreamy boy untaught | C |
In schools some graduate of the field or street | C |
Who shall become a master of the art | C |
An admiral sailing the high seas of thought | C |
Fearless and first and steering with his fleet | C |
For lands not yet laid down in any chart | C |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
