Adrift! A Little Boat Adrift! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCDC ECFC EGHHI

A
-
Adrift A little boat adriftB
And night is coming downC
Will no one guide a little boatD
Unto the nearest townC
-
So Sailors say on yesterdayE
Just as the dusk was brownC
One little boat gave up its strifeF
And gurgled down and downC
-
So angels say on yesterdayE
Just as the dawn was redG
One little boat o'erspent with galesH
Retrimmed its masts redecked its sailsH
And shot exultant onI
