Little Fishermen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEE FFGGHHII JJKKLLMM NNGGOOPP| A little ship goes out to sea | A |
| As soon as we have finished tea | A |
| Off yonder where the big moon glows | B |
| This tiny little vessel goes | B |
| But never grown up eyes have seen | C |
| The ports to which this ship has been | D |
| Upon the shore the old folks stand | E |
| Till morning brings it back to land | E |
| - | |
| In search of smiles this little ship | F |
| Each evening starts upon a trip | F |
| Just smiles enough to last the day | G |
| Is it allowed to bring away | G |
| So nightly to some golden shore | H |
| It must set out alone for more | H |
| And sail the rippling sea for miles | I |
| Until the hold is full of smiles | I |
| - | |
| By gentle hands the sails are spread | J |
| The stars are glistening overhead | J |
| And in that hour when tiny ships | K |
| Prepare to make their evening trips | K |
| The sea becomes a wondrous place | L |
| As beautiful as mother's face | L |
| And all the day's disturbing cries | M |
| Give way to soothing lullabies | M |
| - | |
| No clang of bell or warning shout | N |
| Is heard on shore when they put out | N |
| The little vessels slip away | G |
| As silently as does the day | G |
| And all night long on sands of gold | O |
| They cast their nets and fill the hold | O |
| With smiles and joys beyond compare | P |
| To cheer a world that's sad with care | P |
