In The Mist. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAB CDCED EFFEF GHEGH IJJKJ ABBAB ELEEL GEEGE MDDMD| Sitting all day in a silver mist | A |
| In silver silence all the day | B |
| Save for the low soft kiss of spray | B |
| And the lisp of sands by waters kissed | A |
| As the tide draws up the bay | B |
| - | |
| Little I hear and nothing I see | C |
| Wrapped in that veil by fairies spun | D |
| The solid earth is vanished for me | C |
| And the shining hours speed noiselessly | E |
| A web of shadow and sun | D |
| - | |
| Suddenly out of the shifting veil | E |
| A magical bark by the sunbeams lit | F |
| Flits like a dream or seems to flit | F |
| With a golden prow and a gossamer sail | E |
| And the waves make room for it | F |
| - | |
| A fair swift bark from some radiant realm | G |
| Its diamond cordage cuts the sky | H |
| In glittering lines all silently | E |
| A seeming spirit holds the helm | G |
| And steers will he pass me by | H |
| - | |
| Ah not for me is the vessel here | I |
| Noiseless and fast as a sea bird's flight | J |
| She swerves and vanishes from my sight | J |
| No flap of sail no parting cheer | K |
| She has passed into the light | J |
| - | |
| Sitting some day in a deeper mist | A |
| Silent alone some other day | B |
| An unknown bark from an unknown bay | B |
| By unknown waters lapped and kissed | A |
| Shall near me through the spray | B |
| - | |
| No flap of sail no scraping of keel | E |
| Shadow dim with a banner dark | L |
| It will hover will pause and I shall feel | E |
| A hand which beckons and shivering steal | E |
| To the cold strand and embark | L |
| - | |
| Embark for that far mysterious realm | G |
| Whence the fathomless trackless waters flow | E |
| Shall I see a Presence dim and know | E |
| A Gracious Hand upon the helm | G |
| Nor be afraid to go | E |
| - | |
| And through black wave and stormy blast | M |
| And out of the fog wreath dense and dun | D |
| Guided and held shall the vessel run | D |
| Gain the fair haven night being past | M |
| And anchor in the sun | D |
