The Silhouettes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE| The 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 |
