A Coarse Morning Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCACCA DDEEFDFFD GGAACGCCG| OH the yellow boisterous sea | A |
| The surging chafing murderous sea | A |
| And the wind gusts hurtle the torn clouds by | B |
| On to the south through a shuddering sky | B |
| And the bare black ships scud aloof from the land | C |
| 'Tis as like the day as can be | A |
| When the ship came in sight that came never to strand | C |
| The ship that was blown on the sunken sand | C |
| And he coming back to me | A |
| - | |
| Oh the great white snake of foam | D |
| The coiling writhing snake of white foam | D |
| Hissing and huddering out in the bay | E |
| Over the banks where the wrecked ship lay | E |
| Over the sands where the dead may lie deep | F |
| There are some in the churchyard loam | D |
| Some two or three the sea flung to our keep | F |
| Their mothers can sit by a grave to weep | F |
| But my son never came home | D |
| - | |
| Never never living or dead | G |
| Oh never Willie living or dead | G |
| Could you keep your word and come back to me | A |
| Oh my darling As like this day as can be | A |
| When the ship came in sight that came never to strand | C |
| When the ship came rounding the head | G |
| Close to the haven and close to the sand | C |
| And their graves are long green that were tossed to land | C |
| Ah 'Sure to come back ' he said | G |
