At Dover Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFEGG| Thou whose stern spirit loves the storm | A |
| That borne on Terror's desolating wings | B |
| Shakes the high forest or remorseless flings | B |
| The shivered surge when rising griefs deform | A |
| Thy peaceful breast hie to yon steep and think | C |
| When thou dost mark the melancholy tide | D |
| Beneath thee and the storm careering wide | D |
| Tossed on the surge of life how many sink | C |
| And if thy cheek with one kind tear be wet | E |
| And if thy heart be smitten when the cry | F |
| Of danger and of death is heard more nigh | F |
| Oh learn thy private sorrows to forget | E |
| Intent when hardest beats the storm to save | G |
| One who like thee has suffered from the wave | G |
