The Surrender Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDFAGAG| HERE in the new day's golden splendour | A |
| Headlands pushing their foreheads forward | B |
| Sweet is the surfer's glad surrender | A |
| To the will of the wave as it rushes shoreward | B |
| Nought in his ears but the breaker's thunder | A |
| Arrowing on through the surf he flies | C |
| Foam about him and clean sands under | A |
| Over him arching the radiant skies | C |
| Yielding himself as a toy to the ocean | D |
| Locked and mute in its fierce embraces | E |
| Thrilled and filled with the joy of motion | D |
| Limbs outstretched through the swirl he races | F |
| Here in the gold day's new born splendour | A |
| Sea winds sighing in tree and cave | G |
| Sweet it is in a glad surrender | A |
| Thus to yield to the will of the wave | G |
