Outside Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDEDDFDFGBHB| I want to be lighting my pipe on deck | A |
| With my baggage safe below | B |
| I want to be free of the crowded quay | C |
| While the steamer s swinging slow | B |
| I want to be free of treachery | C |
| And of sordid joys and griefs | D |
| To be out of sight of the faces white | E |
| And the waving of handkerchiefs | D |
| I want to be making my ship board friends | D |
| I want to be free of the past | F |
| I want to be laughing with kindred souls | D |
| While the Heads are opening fast | F |
| I want to be sailing far to day | G |
| On the tracks where the rovers go | B |
| To feel the heave of the deck and draw | H |
| The breath that the rovers know | B |
