The Wan Sun Westers, Faint And Slow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC DEDEEEEE FGFGGHGH| The wan sun westers faint and slow | A |
| The eastern distance glimmers gray | B |
| An eerie haze comes creeping low | A |
| Across the little lonely bay | B |
| And from the sky line far away | B |
| About the quiet heaven are spread | C |
| Mysterious hints of dying day | B |
| Thin delicate dreams of green and red | C |
| - | |
| And weak reluctant surges lap | D |
| And rustle round and down the strand | E |
| No other sound If it should hap | D |
| The ship that sails from fairy land | E |
| The silken shrouds with spells are manned | E |
| The hull is magically scrolled | E |
| The squat mast lives and in the sand | E |
| The gold prow griffin claws a hold | E |
| - | |
| It steals to seaward silently | F |
| Strange fish folk follow thro' the gloom | G |
| Great wings flap overhead I see | F |
| The Castle of the Drowsy Doom | G |
| Vague thro' the changeless twilight loom | G |
| Enchanted hushed And ever there | H |
| She slumbers in eternal bloom | G |
| Her cushions hid with golden hair | H |
