After A Tempestuous Voyage. (at Tynemouth Priory) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDECFGGFHH| As slow I climb the cliff's ascending side | A |
| Much musing on the track of terror past | B |
| When o'er the dark wave rode the howling blast | B |
| Pleased I look back and view the tranquil tide | A |
| That laves the pebbled shore and now the beam | C |
| Of evening smiles on the gray battlement | D |
| And yon forsaken tower that time has rent | E |
| The lifted oar far off with transient gleam | C |
| Is touched and hushed is all the billowy deep | F |
| Soothed by the scene thus on tired Nature's breast | G |
| A stillness slowly steals and kindred rest | G |
| While sea sounds lull her as she sinks to sleep | F |
| Like melodies that mourn upon the lyre | H |
| Waked by the breeze and as they mourn expire | H |
