The Mermaids Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDAD EFEFGEH IJIKLMIM| Sand sand hills of sand | A |
| And the wind where nothing is | B |
| Green and sweet of the land | A |
| No grass no trees | C |
| No bird no butterfly | D |
| But hills hills of sand | A |
| And a burning sky | D |
| - | |
| Sea sea mounds of the sea | E |
| Hollow and dark and blue | F |
| Flashing incessantly | E |
| The whole sea through | F |
| No flower no jutting root | G |
| Only the floor of the sea | E |
| With foam afloat | H |
| - | |
| Blow blow winding shells | I |
| And the watery fish | J |
| Deaf to the hidden bells | I |
| In the water splash | K |
| No streaming gold no eyes | L |
| Watching along the waves | M |
| But far blown shells faint bells | I |
| From the darkling caves | M |
