Over The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG| There came an evening when the storm had died | A |
| After long rain miraculously clear | B |
| And lo across the burning waters wide | A |
| Rose up that coast to thee and me how dear | B |
| - | |
| I knew the very houses by the bay | C |
| And as I gazed the time that clouded thick | D |
| On those old hours fell suddenly away | C |
| And memory was bared even to the quick | D |
| - | |
| There was no peace then in the evening light | E |
| For all my joy was left on that far shore | F |
| Betwixt that apparition and the night | E |
| Alone I was and I was brave no more | F |
| - | |
| Could I not keep thee even in my heart | G |
| O my dear love we perish when we part | G |
