The Welsh Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI

Far out across Carnarvon bayA
Beneath the evening wavesB
The ancient dead begin their dayA
And stream among the gravesB
-
Listen for they of ghostly speechC
Who died when Christ was bornD
May dance upon the golden beachC
That once was golden cornD
-
And you may learn of Dyfed's reignE
And dream Nemedian talesF
Of Kings who sailed in ships from SpainE
And lent their swords to WalesF
-
Listen for like a golden snakeG
The Ocean twists and stirsH
And whispers how the dead men wakeG
And call across the yearsI
