La Mer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| A white mist drifts across the shrouds | A |
| A wild moon in this wintry sky | B |
| Gleams like an angry lion's eye | B |
| Out of a mane of tawny clouds | A |
| - | |
| The muffled steersman at the wheel | C |
| Is but a shadow in the gloom | D |
| And in the throbbing engine room | D |
| Leap the long rods of polished steel | C |
| - | |
| The shattered storm has left its trace | E |
| Upon this huge and heaving dome | F |
| For the thin threads of yellow foam | F |
| Float on the waves like ravelled lace | E |
