Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGAHAIJKLBMNA NNINAOPONever more Sailor | A |
Shalt thou be | B |
Tossed on the wind ridden | C |
Restless sea | B |
Its tides may labour | D |
All the world | E |
Shake 'neath that weight | F |
Of waters hurled | E |
But its whole shock | G |
Can only stir | A |
Thy dust to a quiet | H |
Even quieter | A |
Thou mock'd'st at land | I |
Who now art come | J |
To such a small | K |
And shallow home | L |
Yet bore the sea | B |
Full many a care | M |
For bones that once | N |
A sailor's were | A |
And though the grave's | N |
Deep soundlessness | N |
Thy once sea deafened | I |
Ear distress | N |
No robin ever | A |
On the deep | O |
Hopped with his song | P |
To haunt thy sleep | O |
