The Ship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKLK| There was no song nor shout of joy | A |
| Nor beam of moon or sun | B |
| When she came back from the voyage | C |
| Long ago begun | B |
| But twilight on the waters | D |
| Was quiet and grey | E |
| And she glided steady steady and pensive | F |
| Over the open bay | E |
| - | |
| Her sails were brown and ragged | G |
| And her crew hollow eyed | H |
| But their silent lips spoke content | I |
| And their shoulders pride | H |
| Though she had no captives on her deck | J |
| And in her hold | K |
| There were no heaps of corn or timber | L |
| Or silks or gold | K |
