Fishing Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DE AFGH IEJEK LH| l as my Angler wishes | A |
| While he dips his line in the ocean brine | B |
| Under the impression that his bait will catch the fishes | C |
| - | |
| 'Tis romantic yes but I must confess | D |
| Thoughts of shady rooms at home somehow seem more inviting | E |
| But I dare not move 'Quiet there my love ' | - |
| Says my Angler 'for I think monster fish is biting ' | - |
| Oh of course it's bliss but how hot it is | A |
| And the rock I'm sitting on grows harder every minute | F |
| Still my fisher waits trying various baits | G |
| But the basket at his side I see has nothing in it | H |
| - | |
| Oh it's just the way to pass a July day | I |
| Arcadian and sentimental dreamy idle charming | E |
| But how fierce the sunlight falls and the way the insect crawls | J |
| Along my neck and down my back is really quite alarming | E |
| 'Any luck ' I gently ask of the angler at his task | K |
| 'There's something pulling at my line ' he says 'I've almost caught it ' | - |
| But when with blistered face we our homeward steps retrace | L |
| We take the little basket just as empty as we brought it | H |
