The Sea Faery Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFHF IJKJLJ CDEDM DMDMGM MNENON| She was strange as the orchids that blossom | A |
| And glimmer and shower their balm | B |
| And bloom on the tropical ocean | C |
| That crystals round islands of palm | B |
| And she sang to and beckoned and bound me | D |
| With beauty immortal and calm | B |
| - | |
| She was wild as the spirits that banner | E |
| Auroral the ends of the Earth | F |
| With polar processions that battle | G |
| With Darkness or breathing give birth | F |
| To Silence and herd from the mountains | H |
| The icebergs gigantic of girth | F |
| - | |
| She was silver as sylphids who blend with | I |
| The morning the pearl of their cheeks | J |
| And rosy as spirits whose tresses | K |
| Trail golden the sunset with streaks | J |
| An opaline presence that beckoned | L |
| And spake as the sea rapture speaks | J |
| - | |
| 'Come with me come down in the ocean | C |
| Yea leave this dark region with me | D |
| Come leave it forget it in thunder | E |
| And roll of the infinite sea | D |
| Come with me No mortal bliss equals | M |
| The bliss I shall give unto thee ' | - |
| - | |
| And so it was then that she bound me | D |
| With witchcraft no mortal divines | M |
| While softly with kisses she drew me | D |
| As the moon draws a dream from the pines | M |
| Down down to her cavern of coral | G |
| Where ever the sea serpent twines | M |
| - | |
| And ever the creatures whose shadows | M |
| Bulk huge as an isle on the sight | N |
| Swim cloud like and vast without number | E |
| Around her who leans like a light | N |
| And smiles at me sleeping pale sleeping | O |
| Wrapped deep in her mermaiden might | N |
