Sea-weeds. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFEFGHIBIBJJ| The sunlight piercing through the blue wave feeds | A |
| The joyous growths that clustered from the air | B |
| Throw forth their fibres to the Power that breeds | A |
| Love in the lives above of all things fair | B |
| The ever living Sun that through man's days | C |
| Is as the breath of all the thinks and says | D |
| Light streams down to them in that watery mist | E |
| E'en as thought's splendor in a human mood | F |
| Life filling like a glorious amethyst | E |
| Among the mountains in their solitude | F |
| And the sea things drink in at every pore | G |
| The nurture of the light till life is o'er | H |
| Till life is o'er and Death within the ooze | I |
| Then hides them from the joyous light and air | B |
| E'en as too in the mind the flaming muse | I |
| Burns down to ashes in a world made bare | B |
| With want and woe and the pain whose defeat | J |
| Must be by death when death alone is sweet | J |
