Sunrise Along Shore Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDDC BEBEFGGF HIHIJCCJ KLKLMNNM| Athwart the harbor lingers yet | A |
| The ashen gleam of breaking day | B |
| And where the guardian cliffs are set | A |
| The noiseless shadows steal away | B |
| But all the winnowed eastern sky | C |
| Is flushed with many a tender hue | D |
| And spears of light are smiting through | D |
| The ranks where huddled sea mists fly | C |
| - | |
| Across the ocean wan and gray | B |
| Gay fleets of golden ripples come | E |
| For at the birth hour of the day | B |
| The roistering wayward winds are dumb | E |
| The rocks that stretch to meet the tide | F |
| Are smitten with a ruddy glow | G |
| And faint reflections come and go | G |
| Where fishing boats at anchor ride | F |
| - | |
| All life leaps out to greet the light | H |
| The shining sea gulls dive and soar | I |
| The swallows whirl in dizzy flight | H |
| And sandpeeps flit along the shore | I |
| From every purple landward hill | J |
| The banners of the morning fly | C |
| But on the headlands dim and high | C |
| The fishing hamlets slumber still | J |
| - | |
| One boat alone beyond the bar | K |
| Is sailing outward blithe and free | L |
| To carry sturdy hearts afar | K |
| Across those wastes of sparkling sea | L |
| Staunchly to seek what may be won | M |
| From out the treasures of the deep | N |
| To toil for those at home who sleep | N |
| And be the first to greet the sun | M |
