The Fisher-s Boy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF FHFH| MY life is like a stroll upon the beach | A |
| As near the ocean s edge as I can go | B |
| My tardy steps its waves sometimes o erreach | A |
| Sometimes I stay to let them overflow | B |
| - | |
| My sole employment is and scrupulous care | C |
| To place my gains beyond the reach of tides | D |
| Each smoother pebble and each shell more rare | C |
| Which Ocean kindly to my hand confides | D |
| - | |
| I have but few companions on the shore | E |
| They scorn the strand who sail upon the sea | F |
| Yet oft I think the ocean they ve sailed o er | G |
| Is deeper known upon the strand to me | F |
| - | |
| The middle sea contains no crimson dulse | F |
| Its deeper waves cast up no pearls to view | H |
| Along the shore my hand is on its pulse | F |
| And I converse with many a shipwrecked crew | H |
