A Love By The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC ABCABC ABCABC| Out of the starless night that covers me | A |
| O tribulation of the wind that rolls | B |
| Black as the cloud of some tremendous spell | C |
| The susurration of the sighing sea | A |
| Sounds like the sobbing whisper of two souls | B |
| That tremble in a passion of farewell | C |
| - | |
| To the desires that trebled life in me | A |
| O melancholy of the wind that rolls | B |
| The dreams that seemed the future to foretell | C |
| The hopes that mounted herward like the sea | A |
| To all the sweet things sent on happy souls | B |
| I cannot choose but bid a mute farewell | C |
| - | |
| And to the girl who was so much to me | A |
| O lamentation of this wind that rolls | B |
| Since I may not the life of her compel | C |
| Out of the night beside the sounding sea | A |
| Full of the love that might have blent our souls | B |
| A sad a last a long supreme farewell | C |
