To Ailsa Rock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACBCBCBHearken thou craggy ocean pyramid | A |
Give answer by thy voice the sea fowls' screams | B |
When were thy shoulders mantled in huge streams | B |
When from the sun was thy broad forehead hid | A |
How long is't since the mighty Power bid | A |
Thee heave to airy sleep from fathom dreams | B |
Sleep in the lap of thunder or sunbeams | B |
Or when grey clouds are thy cold coverlid | A |
Thou answer'st not for thou art dead asleep | C |
Thy life is but two dead eternities | B |
The last in air the former in the deep | C |
First with the whales last with the eagle skies | B |
Drowned wast thou till an earthquake made thee steep | C |
Another cannot wake thy giant size | B |
