The Sail Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHG| A single sail is bleaching brightly | A |
| Upon the waves caressing bland | B |
| What seeks it in a stranger country | A |
| Why did it leave its native strand | B |
| When winds pipe high load roar the billows | C |
| And with a crashing bends the mast | D |
| It does not shun its luckless fortune | E |
| Nor haste to port before the blast | D |
| To day the sea is clear as azure | F |
| The sun shines gaily faint the wind | G |
| But it revolting looks for tempest | H |
| And dreams in storms its peace to find | G |
