R. S. S., At Deer Island On The Merrimac Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| Make for he loved thee well our Merrimac | A |
| From wave and shore a low and long lament | B |
| For him whose last look sought thee as he went | B |
| The unknown way from which no step comes back | A |
| And ye O ancient pine trees at whose feet | C |
| He watched in life the sunset's reddening glow | D |
| Let the soft south wind through your needles blow | D |
| A fitting requiem tenderly and sweet | C |
| No fonder lover of all lovely things | E |
| Shall walk where once he walked no smile more glad | F |
| Greet friends than his who friends in all men had | F |
| Whose pleasant memory to that Island clings | E |
| Where a dear mourner in the home he left | G |
| Of love's sweet solace cannot be bereft | G |
