Titanic Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBC DEFDEF| Upon the tinkling splintery battlements | A |
| Which swing and tumble south in ghostly white | B |
| Behemoth rushes blindly from the night | B |
| Behemoth whom we have praised on instruments | A |
| Dulcet and shrill and impudent with vents | C |
| Behemoth whose huge body was our delight | B |
| And miracle wallows where there is no light | B |
| Shattered and crumpled and torn with pitiful rents | C |
| - | |
| O towers of steel and masts that gored the moon | D |
| On you we blazoned our pomp and lust and pelf | E |
| And we have died like excellent proud kings | F |
| Who take death nobly if it come late or soon | D |
| For our high souls are mirrors of Himself | E |
| Though our great wonders are His littlest things | F |
