Sail Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EEEF AGHE

A lonely sail is flashing whiteA
Amdist the blue mist of the seaB
What does it seek in foreign landsC
What did it leave behind at homeD
-
Waves heave wind whistlesE
The mast it bends and creaksE
Alas it seeks not happinessE
Nor happiness does it escapeF
-
Below a current azure brightA
Above a golden ray of sunG
Rebellious it seeks out a stormH
As if in storms it could find peaceE

Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov
