Rhymes And Rhythms - Xvi Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE AGHG

One with the ruined sunsetA
The strange forsaken sandsB
What is it waits and wandersC
And signs with desperate handsB
-
What is it calls in the twilightD
Calls as its chance were vainE
The cry of a gull sent seawardF
Or the voice of an ancient painE
-
The red ghost of the sunsetA
It walks them as its ownG
These dreary and desolate reachesH
But O that it walked aloneG

William Ernest Henley
