The Mine-sweepers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDE AEAECDE AFAFCDE| Dawn off the Foreland the young flood making | A |
| Jumbled and short and steep | B |
| Black in the hollows and bright where it's breaking | A |
| Awkward water to sweep | B |
| quot Mines reported in the fairway | C |
| Warn all traffic and detain | D |
| Sent up Unity Claribel Assyrian Stormcock and Golden Gain quot | E |
| - | |
| Noon off the Foreland the first ebb making | A |
| Lumpy and strong in the bight | E |
| Boom after boom and the golf hut shaking | A |
| And the jackdaws wild with fright | E |
| quot Mines located in the fairway | C |
| Boats now working up the chain | D |
| Sweepers Unity Claribel Assyrian Stormcock and Golden Gain quot | E |
| - | |
| Dusk off the Foreland the last light going | A |
| And the traffic crowding through | F |
| And five damned trawlers with their syreens blowing | A |
| Heading the whole review | F |
| quot Sweep completed in the fairway | C |
| No more mines remain | D |
| Sent back Unity Claribel Assyrian Stormcock and Golden Gain quot | E |
