The Sea Witch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCAB DEFFDE GHIIGG| ENDLESSLY fell her chestnut flowers | A |
| Faint snow throughout the honeyed dark | B |
| The myrtle spread his boughs to drink | C |
| Deep draughts of salt from the sea's brink | C |
| And like a moon dial swung her tower's | A |
| Straight shadow o'er her warded park | B |
| - | |
| From her calm coasts the galleons fled | D |
| The fisher steered him further west | E |
| No port was hailed no keel came home | F |
| Across that pale enchanted foam | F |
| But by her roof the thrushes fed | D |
| And wandering swallows found their rest | E |
| - | |
| The shadows touched her tenderly | G |
| The red beam lingered on her dress | H |
| The white gull and the osprey knew | I |
| Her tower across the leagues of blue | I |
| The wild swan when he sought the sea | G |
| Was laggard through her loveliness | G |
