A Wanderer's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGAA| A wind's in the heart of me a fire's in my heels | A |
| I am tired of brick and stone and rumbling wagon wheels | A |
| I hunger for the sea's edge the limit of the land | B |
| Where the wild old Atlantic is shouting on the sand | B |
| - | |
| Oh I'll be going leaving the noises of the street | C |
| To where a lifting foresail foot is yanking at the sheet | C |
| To a windy tossing anchorage where yawls and ketches ride | D |
| Oh I'l be going going until I meet the tide | D |
| - | |
| And first I'll hear the sea wind the mewing of the gulls | E |
| The clucking sucking of the sea about the rusty hulls | E |
| The songs at the capstan at the hooker warping out | F |
| And then the heart of me'll know I'm there or thereabout | F |
| - | |
| Oh I am sick of brick and stone the heart of me is sick | G |
| For windy green unquiet sea the realm of Moby Dick | G |
| And I'll be going going from the roaring of the wheels | A |
| For a wind's in the heart of me a fire's in my heels | A |
