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