A Grey Day Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCA DCDCEEF GHGHCCG| Grey drizzling mists the moorlands drape | A |
| Rain whitens the dead sea | B |
| From headland dim to sullen cape | A |
| Grey sails creep wearily | B |
| I know not how that merchantman | C |
| Has found the heart but 'tis her plan | C |
| Seaward her endless course to shape | A |
| - | |
| Unreal as insects that appall | D |
| A drunkard's peevish brain | C |
| O'er the grey deep the dories crawl | D |
| Four legged with rowers twain | C |
| Midgets and minims of the earth | E |
| Across old ocean's vasty girth | E |
| Toiling heroic comical | F |
| - | |
| I wonder how that merchant's crew | G |
| Have ever found the will | H |
| I wonder what the fishers do | G |
| To keep them toiling still | H |
| I wonder how the heart of man | C |
| Has patience to live out its span | C |
| Or wait until its dreams come true | G |
