To A Cape Ann Schooner Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCCDDEEFF| Luck to the craft that bears this name of mine | A |
| Good fortune follow with her golden spoon | B |
| The glazed hat and tarry pantaloon | B |
| And wheresoe'er her keel shall cut the brine | A |
| Cod hake and haddock quarrel for her line | A |
| Shipped with her crew whatever wind may blow | C |
| Or tides delay my wish with her shall go | C |
| Fishing by proxy Would that it might show | C |
| At need her course in lack of sun and star | D |
| Where icebergs threaten and the sharp reefs are | D |
| Lift the blind fog on Anticosti's lee | E |
| And Avalon's rock make populous the sea | E |
| Round Grand Manan with eager finny swarms | F |
| Break the long calms and charm away the storms | F |
