Sea Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGCHIJKLMN| I will think no more of the sea Of the big green waves And the hollowed | A |
| shore Of the brown rock caves No more no more Of the swell and the weed | B |
| And the bubbling foam Memory dwells in my far away home She has nothing | C |
| to do with me She is old and bent With a pack On her back Her tears all | D |
| spent Her voice just a crack With an old thorn stick She hobbles along | E |
| And a crazy song Now slow now quick Wheeks in her throat And every day | F |
| While there's light on the shore She searches for something Her withered | G |
| claw Tumbles the seaweed She pokes in each shell Groping and mumbling | C |
| Until the night Deepens and darkens And covers her quite And bids her be | H |
| silent And bids her be still The ghostly feet Of the whispery waves | I |
| Tiptoe beside her They follow follow To the rocky caves In the white | J |
| beach hollow She hugs her hands She sobs she shrills And the echoes | K |
| shriek In the rocky hills She moans It is lost Let it be Let it be I | L |
| am old I'm too cold I am frightened the sea Is too loud it is lost | M |
| It is gone Memory Wails in my far away home | N |
