On Landing At Ostend Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDECFGGHII| The orient beam illumes the parting oar | A |
| From yonder azure track emerging white | B |
| The earliest sail slow gains upon the sight | B |
| And the blue wave comes rippling to the shore | A |
| Meantime far off the rear of darkness flies | C |
| Yet 'mid the beauties of the morn unmoved | D |
| Like one for ever torn from all he loved | E |
| Back o'er the deep I turn my longing eyes | C |
| And chide the wayward passions that rebel | F |
| Yet boots it not to think or to complain | G |
| Musing sad ditties to the reckless main | G |
| To dreams like these adieu the pealing bell | H |
| Speaks of the hour that stays not and the day | I |
| To life's sad turmoil calls my heart away | I |
