Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?

 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'

 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!

 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the rhyme scheme of "an open boat" is abcb abab abba aabc
