The Ghost Ship. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEFAFAGGHHIAFA JJDK| Behold her on the silent sea | A |
| Yon vessel like a spirit there | B |
| Moved in a dream's reality | A |
| As if she trod the air | B |
| None can tell from what creek or bay | C |
| She sailed out or by night or day | C |
| They watch her like a vision gone | D |
| Over the sea's oblivion | E |
| And lo she fades a spectre thin | F |
| Part of the moonlight and the sea | A |
| As if the waves and stars met in | F |
| A moment's phantasy | A |
| Or is it they stand hushed apart | G |
| And listen to her breathing heart | G |
| As if the ghostly pulses stirred | H |
| To the voice of a faery bird | H |
| A bird that chaunts somewhere between | I |
| The waters and the starry skies | A |
| A mystic song of what has been | F |
| Seen not of human eyes | A |
| Since when the world grew into birth | J |
| And the white Moon enamoured Earth | J |
| And she as in a vision gone | D |
| Moves to the music on and on | K |
