The Sea Spirit Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACC DEEDDCC FGGFFHH IJKIILL| I smile o'er the wrinkled blue | A |
| Lo the sea is fair | B |
| Smooth as the flow of a maiden's hair | B |
| And the welkin's light shines through | A |
| Into mid sea caverns of beryl hue | A |
| And the little waves laugh and the mermaids sing | C |
| And the sea is a beautiful sinuous thing | C |
| - | |
| I scowl in sullen guise | D |
| The sea grows dark and dun | E |
| The swift clouds hide the sun | E |
| But not the bale light in my eyes | D |
| And the frightened wind as it flies | D |
| Ruffles the billows with stormy wing | C |
| And the sea is a terrible treacherous thing | C |
| - | |
| When moonlight glimmers dim | F |
| I pass in the path of the mist | G |
| Like a pale spirit by spirits kissed | G |
| At dawn I chant my own weird hymn | F |
| And I dabble my hair in the sunset's rim | F |
| And I call to the dwellers along the shore | H |
| With a voice of gramarye evermore | H |
| - | |
| And if one for love of me | I |
| Gives to my call an ear | J |
| I will woo him and hold him dear | K |
| And teach him the way of the sea | I |
| And my glamor shall ever over him be | I |
| Though he wander afar in the cities of men | L |
| He will come at last to my arms again | L |
