The Herring Weir Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEFDGF| Back to the green deeps of the outer bay | A |
| The red and amber currents glide and cringe | B |
| Diminishing behind a luminous fringe | B |
| Of cream white surf and wandering wraiths of spray | A |
| Stealthily in the old reluctant way | A |
| The red flats are uncovered mile on mile | C |
| To glitter in the sun a golden while | C |
| Far down the flats a phantom sharply grey | A |
| The herring weir emerges quick with spoil | D |
| Slowly the tide forsakes it Then draws near | E |
| Descending from the farm house on the height | F |
| A cart with gaping tubs The oxen toil | D |
| Sombrely o'er the level to the weir | G |
| And drag a long black trail across the light | F |
