Thoughts At Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF AGAG HIHI JKJK| Here is the boundless ocean there the sky | A |
| O'er arching broad and blue | B |
| Telling of God and heaven how deep how high | A |
| How glorious and true | B |
| - | |
| Upon the wave there is an anthem sweet | C |
| Whispered in fear and love | D |
| Sending a solemn tribute to the feet | C |
| Of Him who sits above | D |
| - | |
| God of the waters Nature owns her King | E |
| The Sea thy sceptre knows | F |
| At thy command the tempest spreads its wing | E |
| Or folds it to repose | F |
| - | |
| And when the whirlwind hath gone rushing by | A |
| Obedient to thy will | G |
| What reverence sits upon the wave and sky | A |
| Humbled subdued and still | G |
| - | |
| Oh let my soul like this submissive sea | H |
| With peace upon its breast | I |
| By the deep influence of thy Spirit be | H |
| Holy and hushed to rest | I |
| - | |
| And as the gladdening sun lights up the morn | J |
| Bidding the storm depart | K |
| So may the Sun of Righteousness adorn | J |
| With love my shadowed heart | K |
