Ultima Thule: Dedication To G. W. G. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBAACCAADD EEFF| With favoring winds o'er sunlit seas | A |
| We sailed for the Hesperides | A |
| The land where golden apples grow | B |
| But that ah that was long ago | B |
| How far since then the ocean streams | A |
| Have swept us from that land of dreams | A |
| That land of fiction and of truth | C |
| The lost Atlantis of our youth | C |
| Whither ah whither Are not these | A |
| The tempest haunted Orcades | A |
| Where sea gulls scream and breakers roar | D |
| And wreck and sea weed line the shore | D |
| - | |
| Ultima Thule Utmost Isle | E |
| Here in thy harbors for a while | E |
| We lower our sails a while we rest | F |
| From the unending endless quest | F |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
