Womanly Qualms Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE AGHG IJKJ LMHM NJOJ| When I go rowing on the lake | A |
| I long to be a man | B |
| I'll give my Sunday frock to have | C |
| A callous heart like Dan | B |
| - | |
| I love the ripple of the waves | D |
| When gliding o'er the deep | E |
| But when I see the cruel ours | F |
| I close my eyes and weep | E |
| - | |
| For there are cat fish in our lake | A |
| And I am filled with dread | G |
| Lest Don should strike a pussy fish | H |
| Upon its tender head | G |
| - | |
| How would you like it if some day | I |
| An air ship passing by | J |
| Should flap its cruel thoughtless oars | K |
| And knock you in the eye | J |
| - | |
| My life would be one long regret | L |
| If for my pleasure vain | M |
| I caused a harmless little fish | H |
| An hour of needless pain | M |
| - | |
| And if Dan's heavy oars should cause | N |
| One little fish to die | J |
| I'd never never dare to look | O |
| Smoked herring in the eye | J |
