Sleeping Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCCDEAEDDDFF| The sea | A |
| Was even as a little child that sleeps | B |
| And keeps | B |
| All night its great unconsciousness of day | C |
| No spray | C |
| Flashed when the wave rose drooped and slowly drew away | C |
| No sound | D |
| From all that slumbering full bosomed water came | E |
| The sea | A |
| Lay mute in childlike sleep the moon was a gold candle flame | E |
| No sound | D |
| Save when a faint and mothlike air fluttered around | D |
| No sound | D |
| But as a child that dreams and in his full sleep cries | F |
| So turned the sleeping sea and heaved her bosom of slow sighs | F |
