The Sea Maid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCD EFEFGGD BHBHIID| In what pearl paven mossy cave | A |
| By what green sea | B |
| Art thou reclining virgin of the wave | A |
| In realms more full of splendid mystery | B |
| Than that strong northern flood whence came | C |
| The rise and fall of music in thy name | C |
| Thy waiting name Oithona | D |
| - | |
| The magic of the sea's own change | E |
| In depth and height | F |
| From where the eternal order'd billows range | E |
| To unknown regions of sleep weary night | F |
| Fills like a wonder waking spell | G |
| Whispered by lips of some lone murmuring shell | G |
| Thy dreaming soul Oithona | D |
| - | |
| In gladness of thy reverie | B |
| What gracious form | H |
| Will fly the errand of our love to thee | B |
| By ways with winged messengers aswarm | H |
| Through dawn of opalescent skies | I |
| To say the time is come and bid thee rise | I |
| And be our child Oithona | D |
