To Marguerite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GAHAIJ HAHAKK| Yes in the sea of life enisled | A |
| With echoing straits between us thrown | B |
| Dotting the shoreless watery wild | A |
| We mortal millions live alone | B |
| The islands feel the enclasping flow | C |
| And then their endless bounds they know | C |
| - | |
| But when the moon their hollows lights | D |
| And they are swept by balms of spring | E |
| And in their glens on starry nights | D |
| The nightingales divinely sing | E |
| And lovely notes from shore to shore | F |
| Across the sounds and channels pour | F |
| - | |
| Oh then a longing like despair | G |
| Is to their farthest caverns sent | A |
| For surely once they feel we were | H |
| Parts of a single continent | A |
| Now round us spreads the watery plain | I |
| Oh might our marges meet again | J |
| - | |
| Who ordered that their longing's fire | H |
| Should be as soon as kindled cooled | A |
| Who renders vain their deep desire | H |
| A god a god their severance ruled | A |
| And bade betwixt their shores to be | K |
| The unplumbed salt estranging sea | K |
