At Sea Off The Isle Of Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBABABACDDEFFBold words affirmed in days when faith was strong | A |
And doubts and scruples seldom teased the brain | B |
That no adventurer's bark had power to gain | B |
These shores if he approached them bent on wrong | A |
For suddenly up conjured from the Main | B |
Mists rose to hide the Land that search though long | A |
And eager might be still pursued in vain | B |
O Fancy what an age was 'that' for song | A |
That age when not by 'laws' inanimate | C |
As men believed the waters were impelled | D |
The air controlled the stars their courses held | D |
But element and orb on 'acts' did wait | E |
Of 'Powers' endued with visible form instinct | F |
With will and to their work by passion linked | F |
