The Seven Isles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHJ| I dream of western waters and of the Seven Isles | A |
| And of mornings when they appear | B |
| Flowering out of the mist on a sea of smiles | A |
| Warm and familiar and near | B |
| - | |
| Then O how changed fugitive faint remote | C |
| In another world than ours | D |
| Vanishing apparitions they seemed to float | C |
| Shadows of shadowy powers | D |
| - | |
| Effaced at last as if they had never been | E |
| Drowned in the empty bay | F |
| On solitary water was nothing to be seen | G |
| But a sail pale on the gray | F |
| - | |
| And I wonder O Isles reappearing and lost without sign | H |
| In the solitude of the seas | I |
| Are the songs of the Immortals more divine | H |
| Or their magical silences | J |
