At The Ferry Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DEFFE GHIIH JKLLK MNOPNOh dim and wan came in the dawn | A |
And gloomy closed the day | B |
The killdee whistled among the weeds | C |
The heron flapped in the river reeds | C |
And the snipe piped far away | B |
- | |
At dawn she stood her dark gray hood | D |
Flung back in the ferry boat | E |
Sad were the eyes that watched him ride | F |
Her raider love from the riverside | F |
His kiss on her mouth and throat | E |
- | |
Like some wild spell the twilight fell | G |
And black the tempest came | H |
The heavens seemed filled with the warring dead | I |
Whose batteries opened overhead | I |
With thunder and with flame | H |
- | |
At night again in the wind and rain | J |
She toiled at the ferry oar | K |
For she heard a voice in the night and storm | L |
And it seemed that her lover's shadowy form | L |
Beckoned her to the shore | K |
- | |
And swift to save she braved the wave | M |
And reached the shore and found | N |
His riderless horse with head hung low | O |
A blur of blood on the saddle bow | P |
And the empty night around | N |
