Teddy O'neale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFED CG GEDED| I've come to the cabin he danced his wild jigs in | A |
| As neat a mud palace as ever was seen | B |
| And considering it served to keep poultry and pigs in | A |
| I'm sure it was always most elegant clean | B |
| But now all about it seems lonely and dreary | C |
| All sad and all silent no piper no reel | D |
| Not even the sun through the casement is cheery | C |
| Since I miss the dear darling boy Teddy O'Neale | D |
| - | |
| I dreamt but last night oh bad luck to my dreaming | E |
| I'd die if I thought 'twould come truly to pass | F |
| But I dreamt while the tears down my pillow were streaming | E |
| That Teddy was courting another fair lass | F |
| Oh didn't I wake with a weeping and wailing | E |
| The grief of that thought was too deep to conceal | D |
| My mother cried 'Norah child what is your ailing ' | - |
| And all I could utter was 'Teddy O'Neale ' | - |
| - | |
| Shall I ever forget when the big ship was ready | C |
| And the moment was come when my love must depart | G |
| How I sobbed like a spalpeen 'Good bye to you Teddy ' | - |
| With drops on my cheek and a stone at my heart | G |
| He says 'tis to better his fortune he's roving | E |
| But what would be gold to the joy I should feel | D |
| If I saw him come back to me honest and loving | E |
| Still poor but my own darling Teddy O'Neale | D |
