Driftwood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFEDDF| Black spars of driftwood burn to peacock flames | A |
| Sea emeralds and sea purples and sea blues | B |
| And all the innumerable ever changing hues | B |
| That haunt the changeless deeps but have no names | A |
| Flicker and spire in our enchanted sight | C |
| And as we gaze the unsearchable mystery | D |
| The unfathomed cold salt magic of the sea | D |
| Shines clear before us in the quiet night | C |
| - | |
| We know the secret that Ulysses sought | E |
| That moonstruck mariners since time began | F |
| Snatched at a drowning hazard strangely brought | E |
| To our homekeeping hearts in drifting spars | D |
| We chanced to kindle under the cold stars | D |
| The secret in the ocean heart of man | F |
