A South-sea Islander Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIH| ALOLL in the warm clear water | A |
| On her back with languorous limbs | B |
| She lies The baby upon her breasts | C |
| Paddles and falls and swims | B |
| With half closed eyes she smiles | D |
| Guarding it with her hands | E |
| And the sob swells up in my heart | F |
| In my heart that understands | E |
| Dear in the English country | G |
| The hatefullest land on earth | H |
| The mothers are starved and the children die | I |
| And death is better than birth | H |
