Sound Of The Sea, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep | A |
| And round the pebbly beaches far and wide | B |
| I heard the first wave of the rising tide | B |
| Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep | A |
| A voice out of the silence of the deep | A |
| A sound mysteriously multiplied | B |
| As of a cataract from the mountain's side | B |
| Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep | A |
| So comes to us at times from the unknown | C |
| And inaccessible solitudes of being | D |
| The rushing of the sea tides of the soul | E |
| And inspirations that we deem our own | C |
| Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing | D |
| Of things beyond our reason or control | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
