A Love By The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC ABCABC ABCABCOut 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 |
