Man Overboard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEBEB| YOUNG the naked stoker who went | A |
| Mad with the fires and leapt to the sea | B |
| Boyhood still in the voice that sent | A |
| One shrill cry back from eternity | B |
| Perchance from the phosphorescent gleams | C |
| That shot through our wake of swirling foam | D |
| On his delirious brain flashed dreams | C |
| Of a waiting mother an English home | D |
| The ocean clad him in cool soft robe | E |
| The ship fled on as the guilty flee | B |
| And the sun a crimson belted globe | E |
| Slipped down to comfort him under the sea | B |
