Aeolian Harp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACC DEEDFF GHHGII| O pale green sea | A |
| With long pale purple clouds above | B |
| What lies in me like weight of love | B |
| What dies in me | A |
| With utter grief because there comes no sign | C |
| Through the sun raying West or the dim sea line | C |
| - | |
| O salted air | D |
| Blown round the rocky headland still | E |
| What calls me there from cove and hill | E |
| What calls me fair | D |
| From thee the first born of the youthful night | F |
| Or in the waves is coming through the dusk twilight | F |
| - | |
| O yellow Star | G |
| Quivering upon the rippling tide | H |
| Sendest so far to one that sigh'd | H |
| Bendest thou Star | G |
| Above where the shadows of the dead have rest | I |
| And constant silence with a message from the blest | I |
