Outward Bound Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECFE| I leave behind me the elm shadowed square | A |
| And carven portals of the silent street | B |
| And wander on with listless vagrant feet | B |
| Through seaward leading alleys till the air | A |
| Smells of the sea and straightway then the care | A |
| Slips from my heart and life once more is sweet | B |
| At the lane's ending lie the white winged fleet | B |
| O restless Fancy whither wouldst thou fare | A |
| Here are brave pinions that shall take thee far | C |
| Gaunt hulks of Norway ships of red Ceylon | D |
| Slim masted lovers of the blue Azores | E |
| 'Tis but an instant hence to Zanzibar | C |
| Or to the regions of the Midnight Sun | F |
| Ionian isles are thine and all the fairy shores | E |
