Homecoming Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAC DEAAC FGHAC BIDDC JKAAC| When I came home from wanderings | A |
| In a tall chattering ship | B |
| I thought a hundred happy things | A |
| Of people places and such things | A |
| As I came sailing home | C |
| - | |
| The tall ship moved how slowly on | D |
| With me and hundreds more | E |
| That thought not then of wanderings | A |
| But of unwhispered longed for things | A |
| Familiar things of home | C |
| - | |
| For not in miles seemed other lands | F |
| Far off but in long years | G |
| As we came near to England then | H |
| Even the tall ship heard secret things | A |
| As she moved trembling home | C |
| - | |
| It was at dawn The chattering ship | B |
| Was strangely hushed faint mist | I |
| Crept everywhere and we crept on | D |
| And every eye was creeping on | D |
| The mist as we moved home | C |
| - | |
| Until we saw far very far | J |
| Or dreamed we saw her cliffs | K |
| And thought of sweet intolerable things | A |
| Of England dark unwhispered things | A |
| Such things as we crept home | C |
