The Golden City Of St. Mary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCCB DDDB EEEB| Out beyond the sunset could I but find the way | A |
| Is a sleepy blue laguna which widens to a bay | A |
| And there's the Blessed City so the sailors say | A |
| The Golden City of St Mary | B |
| - | |
| It's built of fair marble white without a stain | C |
| And in the cool twilight when the sea winds wane | C |
| The bells chime faintly like a soft warm rain | C |
| In the Golden City of St Mary | B |
| - | |
| Among the green palm trees where the fire flies shine | D |
| Are the white tavern tables where the gallants dine | D |
| Singing slow Spanish songs like old mulled wine | D |
| In the Golden City of St Mary | B |
| - | |
| Oh I'll be shipping sunset wards and westward ho | E |
| Through the green topping combers a shattering into snow | E |
| Till I come to quiet moorings and a watch below | E |
| In the Golden City of St Mary | B |
