Sunk Lyonesse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAAAA ACDCEFGFHIJI| In sea cold Lyonesse | A |
| When the Sabbath eve shafts down | B |
| On the roofs walls belfries | A |
| Of the foundered town | B |
| The Nereids pluck their lyres | A |
| Where the green translucency beats | A |
| And with motionless eyes at gaze | A |
| Make ministrely in the streets | A |
| - | |
| And the ocean water stirs | A |
| In salt worn casement and porch | C |
| Plies the blunt nosed fish | D |
| With fire in his skull for torch | C |
| And the ringing wires resound | E |
| And the unearthly lovely weep | F |
| In lament of the music they make | G |
| In the sullen courts of sleep | F |
| Whose marble flowers bloom for aye | H |
| And lapped by the moon guiled tide | I |
| Mock their carver with heart of stone | J |
| Caged in his stone ribbed side | I |
