Patroling Barnegat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWILD wild the storm and the sea high running | A |
Steady the roar of the gale with incessant undertone muttering | A |
Shouts of demoniac laughter fitfully piercing and pealing | A |
Waves air midnight their savagest trinity lashing | A |
Out in the shadows there milk white combs careering | A |
On beachy slush and sand spirts of snow fierce slanting | A |
Where through the murk the easterly death wind breasting | A |
Through cutting swirl and spray watchful and firm advancing | A |
That in the distance is that a wreck is the red signal flaring | A |
Slush and sand of the beach tireless till daylight wending | A |
Steadily slowly through hoarse roar never remitting | A |
Along the midnight edge by those milk white combs careering | A |
A group of dim weird forms struggling the night confronting | A |
That savage trinity warily watching | A |
