I. Written At Tinemouth, Northumberland, After A Tempestuous Voyage. 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 |
| Pleas'd I look back and view the tranquil tide | A |
| That laves the pebbled shore and now the beam | C |
| Of evening smiles on the grey battlement | D |
| And yon forsaken tow'r that time has rent | E |
| The lifted oar far off with silver gleam | C |
| Is touch'd and the hush'd billows seem to sleep | F |
| Sooth'd by the scene ev'n thus on sorrow's breast | G |
| A kindred stillness steals and bids her rest | G |
| Whilst the weak winds that sigh along the deep | F |
| The ear like lullabies of pity meet | H |
| Singing the saddest notes of farewell sweet | H |
