The Empty Boats Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD| Why do I see these empty boats sailing on airy seas | A |
| One haunted me the whole night long swaying with every breeze | A |
| Returning always near the eaves or by the skylight glass | B |
| There it will wait me many weeks and then at last will pass | B |
| Each soul is haunted by a ship in which that soul might ride | C |
| And climb the glorious mysteries of Heaven's silent tide | C |
| In voyages that change the very metes and bounds of Fate | D |
| O empty boats we all refuse that by our windows wait | D |
