The Sirens' Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDDEE FGFGHHIIEE| Steer hither steer your wing egrave d pines | A |
| All beaten mariners | B |
| Here lie Love's undiscover'd mines | A |
| A prey to passengers | B |
| Perfumes far sweeter than the best | C |
| Which make the Phoenix' urn and nest | C |
| Fear not your ships | D |
| Nor any to oppose you save our lips | D |
| But come on shore | E |
| Where no joy dies till Love hath gotten more | E |
| - | |
| For swelling waves our panting breasts | F |
| Where never storms arise | G |
| Exchange and be awhile our guests | F |
| For stars gaze on our eyes | G |
| The compass Love shall hourly sing | H |
| And as he goes about the ring | H |
| We will not miss | I |
| To tell each point he nameth with a kiss | I |
| Then come on shore | E |
| Where no joy dies till Love hath gotten more | E |
