Off Cape Colonna Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFGF

Aloof they crown the foreland loneA
From aloft they loftier riseB
Fair columns in the aureole rolledC
From sunned Greek seas and skiesB
They wax sublimed to fancy's viewD
A god like group against the blueD
-
Over much like gods Serene they sawE
The wolf waves board the deckF
And headlong hull of FalconerG
And many a deadlier wreckF

Herman Melville
