The Silhouettes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFEThe sea is flecked with bars of grey | A |
The dull dead wind is out of tune | B |
And like a withered leaf the moon | B |
Is blown across the stormy bay | A |
- | |
Etched clear upon the pallid sand | C |
Lies the black boat a sailor boy | D |
Clambers aboard in careless joy | D |
With laughing face and gleaming hand | C |
- | |
And overhead the curlews cry | E |
Where through the dusky upland grass | F |
The young brown throated reapers pass | F |
Like silhouettes against the sky | E |
