The Ideal And The Actual Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ HKLK| My boat is on the bounding tide | A |
| Away away from surge and shore | B |
| A waif upon the wave I ride | A |
| Without a rudder or an oar | B |
| - | |
| Blow as ye list ye breezes blow | C |
| The compass now is nought to me | D |
| Flow as ye will ye billows flow | C |
| If but ye bear me out to sea | D |
| - | |
| Yon waving line of dusky blue | E |
| Where care and toil oppress the heart | F |
| To thee I bid a long adieu | E |
| And smile to feel that thus we part | F |
| - | |
| There let the sweating ploughman toil | G |
| The yearning miser count his gain | H |
| The fevered scholar waste his oil | G |
| But I am bounding o'er the main | H |
| - | |
| How fresh these breezes to the brow | I |
| How dear this freedom to the soul | J |
| Bright ocean I am with thee now | I |
| So let thy golden billows roll | J |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| But stay what means this throbbing brain | H |
| This heaving chest these pulses quick | K |
| Oh take me to the land again | L |
| For I am very very sick | K |
