The Miracles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEDE FGFG HIHI JEJE KEKE LELE EEEE MGMG| I sent a message to my dear | A |
| A thousand leagues and more to Her | B |
| The dumb sea levels thrilled to hear | C |
| And Lost Atlantis bore to Her | B |
| - | |
| Behind my message hard I came | D |
| And nigh had found a grave for me | E |
| But that I launched of steel and flame | D |
| Did war against the wave for me | E |
| - | |
| Uprose the deep by gale on gale | F |
| To bid me change my mind again | G |
| He broke his teeth along my rail | F |
| And roaring swung behind again | G |
| - | |
| I stayed the sun at noon to tell | H |
| My way across the waste of it | I |
| I read the storm before it fell | H |
| And made the better haste of it | I |
| - | |
| Afar I hailed the land at night | J |
| The towers I built had heard of me | E |
| And ere my rocket reached its height | J |
| Had flashed my Love the word of me | E |
| - | |
| Earth sold her chosen men of strength | K |
| They lived and strove and died for me | E |
| To drive my road a nation's length | K |
| And toss the miles aside for me | E |
| - | |
| I snatched their toil to serve my needs | L |
| Too slow their fleetest flew for me | E |
| I tired twenty smoking steeds | L |
| And bade them bait a new for me | E |
| - | |
| I sent the lightnings forth to see | E |
| Where hour by hour She waited me | E |
| Among ten million one was She | E |
| And surely all men hated me | E |
| - | |
| Dawn ran to meet me at my goal | M |
| Ah day no tongue shall tell again | G |
| And little folk of little soul | M |
| Rose up to buy and sell again | G |
