By The Sea. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDEBBEFGFGHIIH BFBF| The heat is on the sea and Noon | A |
| Has hushed the sounds upon the shore | B |
| There is a silence evermore | B |
| That with the heart is so in tune | A |
| That ear and eye their senses steep | C |
| As if within a dreamy dew | D |
| As charmed as when the bells of Sleep | C |
| To Night's church Sweet are calling you | D |
| A sail far off hushed in the light | E |
| Comes into view and fades as 'twere | B |
| Something that rose from slumber there | B |
| E'en as a blind man musing might | E |
| Image a bird upon the wing | F |
| The picture seems to us the same | G |
| The whole bright noon around the thing | F |
| As if it with the silence came | G |
| And still we lie in the warm grass | H |
| Our senses on the shining sea | I |
| While thought like a sweet lethargy | I |
| Counts not the moments as they pass | H |
| As time itself had ceased to stir | B |
| The glamour here on everything | F |
| Grows one with us as all things were | B |
| Where now no winds are wandering | F |
