Sea Longing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCADDAEFFEFE| A thousand miles beyond this sun steeped wall | A |
| Somewhere the waves creep cool along the sand | B |
| The ebbing tide forsakes the listless land | B |
| With the old murmur long and musical | C |
| The windy waves mount up and curve and fall | A |
| And round the rocks the foam blows up like snow | D |
| Tho' I am inland far I hear and know | D |
| For I was born the sea's eternal thrall | A |
| I would that I were there and over me | E |
| The cold insistence of the tide would roll | F |
| Quenching this burning thing men call the soul | F |
| Then with the ebbing I should drift and be | E |
| Less than the smallest shell along the shoal | F |
| Less than the sea gulls calling to the sea | E |
