Still When Daylight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBB CDBBB EEFFF GGBBB| Still when daylight o'er the wave | A |
| Bright and soft its farewell gave | A |
| I used to hear while light was falling | B |
| O'er the wave a sweet voice calling | B |
| Mournfully at distance calling | B |
| - | |
| Ah once how blest that maid would come | C |
| To meet her sea boy hastening home | D |
| And thro' the night those sounds repeating | B |
| Hail his bark with joyous greeting | B |
| Joyously his light bark greeting | B |
| - | |
| But one sad night when winds were high | E |
| Nor earth nor heaven could hear her cry | E |
| She saw his boat come tossing over | F |
| Midnight's wave but not her lover | F |
| No never more her lover | F |
| - | |
| And still that sad dream loath to leave | G |
| She comes with wandering mind at eve | G |
| And oft we hear when night is falling | B |
| Faint her voice thro' twilight calling | B |
| Mournfully at twilight calling | B |
