When Cap'n Tom Comes Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBABABAB| WHEN Cap'n Tom comes home and his sea chest | A |
| Is opened oh the shells that rainbow foam | B |
| Tossed on far shores by us to be possessed | A |
| When Cap'n Tom comes home | B |
| Cocoanuts for which gray chattering monkeys clomb | B |
| Tamarinds and dates and luscious sweetmeats pressed | A |
| Into blue jars of quaint pagoda dome | B |
| Canaries corals shimmering shawls and best | A |
| Of all keepsakes that on wild seas a roam | B |
| He carved from whale's tooth for a village blest | A |
| When Cap'n Tom comes home | B |
