The Doomed Ship Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABDA EFFEEF| The doomed ship drives on helpless through the sea | A |
| All that the mariners may do is done | B |
| And death is left for men to gaze upon | C |
| While side by side two friends sit silently | A |
| Friends once foes once and now by death made free | A |
| Of Love and Hate of all things lost or won | B |
| Yet still the wonder of that strife bygone | D |
| Clouds all the hope or horror that may be | A |
| - | |
| Thus Sorrow are we sitting side by side | E |
| Amid this welter of the grey despair | F |
| Nor have we images of foul or fair | F |
| To vex save of thy kissed face of a bride | E |
| Thy scornful face of tears when I was tried | E |
| And failed neath pain I was not made to bear | F |
