Song Of The Sea-wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECE FGHGIDJD KLMLBKNK| When the sun sets over the long blue wave | A |
| I spring from my couch of rest | B |
| And I hurtle and boom over leagues of foam | C |
| That toss in the weltering west | B |
| I pipe a hymn to the headlands high | D |
| My comrades forevermore | E |
| And I chase the tricksy curls of foam | C |
| O'er the glimmering sandy shore | E |
| - | |
| The moon is my friend on clear white nights | F |
| When I ripple her silver way | G |
| And whistle blithely about the rocks | H |
| Like an elfin thing at play | G |
| But anon I ravin with cloud and mist | I |
| And wail 'neath a curdled sky | D |
| When the reef snarls yon like a questing beast | J |
| And the frightened ships go by | D |
| - | |
| I scatter the dawn across the sea | K |
| Like wine of amber flung | L |
| From a crystal goblet all far and fine | M |
| Where the morning star is hung | L |
| I blow from east and I blow from west | B |
| Wherever my longing be | K |
| The wind of the land is a hindered thing | N |
| But the ocean wind is free | K |
