Joy And Sorrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A BA BC DC D E FG FH DH D I JK JL ML M| As a fisher boy I fared | A |
| - | |
| To the black rock in the sea | B |
| And while false gifts I prepared | A |
| - | |
| Listen'd and sang merrily | B |
| Down descended the decoy | C |
| - | |
| Soon a fish attack'd the bait | D |
| One exultant shout of joy | C |
| - | |
| And the fish was captured straight | D |
| - | |
| Ah on shore and to the wood | E |
| - | |
| Past the cliffs o'er stock and stone | F |
| One foot's traces I pursued | G |
| - | |
| And the maiden was alone | F |
| Lips were silent eyes downcast | H |
| - | |
| As a clasp knife snaps the bait | D |
| With her snare she seized me fast | H |
| - | |
| And the boy was captured straight | D |
| - | |
| Heav'n knows who's the happy swain | I |
| - | |
| That she rambles with anew | J |
| I must dare the sea again | K |
| - | |
| Spite of wind and weather too | J |
| When the great and little fish | L |
| - | |
| Wail and flounder in my net | M |
| Straight returns my eager wish | L |
| - | |
| In her arms to revel yet | M |
