In The Harbour: Prelude Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGHAs treasures that men seek | A |
Deep buried in sea sands | B |
Vanish if they but speak | A |
And elude their eager hands | B |
- | |
So ye escape and slip | C |
O songs and fade away | D |
When the word is on my lip | C |
To interpret what ye say | D |
- | |
Were it not better then | E |
To let the treasures rest | F |
Hid from the eyes of men | E |
Locked in their iron chest | F |
- | |
I have but marked the place | G |
But half the secret told | H |
That following this slight trace | G |
Others may find the gold | H |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
