A Garden By The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCD DEEFFG GHHIIJJ KLCCMMN NOOPPII| I KNOW a little garden close | A |
| Set thick with lily and red rose | B |
| Where I would wander if I might | C |
| From dewy morn to dewy night | C |
| And have one with me wandering | D |
| - | |
| And though within it no birds sing | D |
| And though no pillared house is there | E |
| And though the apple boughs are bare | E |
| Of fruit and blossom would to God | F |
| Her feet upon the green grass trod | F |
| And I beheld them as before | G |
| - | |
| There comes a murmur from the shore | G |
| And in the close two fair streams are | H |
| Drawn from the purple hills afar | H |
| Drawn down unto the restless sea | I |
| Dark hills whose heath bloom feeds no bee | I |
| Dark shore no ship has ever seen | J |
| Tormented by the billows green | J |
| - | |
| Whose murmur comes unceasingly | K |
| Unto the place for which I cry | L |
| For which I cry both day and night | C |
| For which I let slip all delight | C |
| Whereby I grow both deaf and blind | M |
| Careless to win unskilled to find | M |
| And quick to lose what all men seek | N |
| - | |
| Yet tottering as I am and weak | N |
| Still have I left a little breath | O |
| To seek within the jaws of death | O |
| An entrance to that happy place | P |
| To seek the unforgotten face | P |
| Once seen once kissed once reft from me | I |
| Anigh the murmuring of the sea | I |
