His Sailing From Julia Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDEFFCCGGHH| When that day comes whose evening says I'm gone | A |
| Unto that watery desolation | B |
| Devoutly to thy closet gods then pray | C |
| That my wing'd ship may meet no remora | C |
| Those deities which circum walk the seas | D |
| And look upon our dreadful passages | E |
| Will from all dangers re deliver me | F |
| For one drink offering poured out by thee | F |
| Mercy and truth live with thee and forbear | C |
| In my short absence to unsluice a tear | C |
| But yet for love's sake let thy lips do this | G |
| Give my dead picture one engendering kiss | G |
| Work that to life and let me ever dwell | H |
| In thy remembrance Julia So farewell | H |
Robert Herrick
