At Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGHIHJ| O we go down to sea in ships | A |
| But Hope remains behind | B |
| And Love with laughter on his lips | A |
| And Peace of passive mind | B |
| While out across the deeps of night | C |
| With lifted sails of prayer | D |
| We voyage off in quest of light | C |
| Nor find it anywhere | D |
| - | |
| O Thou who wroughtest earth and sea | E |
| Yet keepest from our eyes | F |
| The shores of an eternity | E |
| In calms of Paradise | G |
| Blow back upon our foolish quest | H |
| With all the driving rain | I |
| Of blinding tears and wild unrest | H |
| And waft us home again | J |
