The Bells Of Lynn - Heard At Nahant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BA CA CA CA DA EA EA FA| O curfew of the setting sun O Bells of Lynn | A |
| O requiem of the dying day O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| From the dark belfries of yon cloud cathedral wafted | B |
| Your sounds aerial seem to float O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| Borne on the evening wind across the crimson twilight | C |
| O'er land and sea they rise and fall O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| The fisherman in his boat far out beyond the headland | C |
| Listens and leisurely rows ashore O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| Over the shining sands the wandering cattle homeward | C |
| Follow each other at your call O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| The distant lighthouse hears and with his flaming signal | D |
| Answers you passing the watchword on O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| And down the darkening coast run the tumultuous surges | E |
| And clap their hands and shout to you O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| Till from the shuddering sea with your wild incantations | E |
| Ye summon up the spectral moon O Bells of Lynn | A |
| - | |
| And startled at the sight like the weird woman of Endor | F |
| Ye cry aloud and then are still O Bells of Lynn | A |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
