The Sailor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH HHHHIJIJ| A sailor that rides the ocean wave | A |
| And I in my room at home | B |
| Where are the seas I fear to brave | A |
| Or the lands I may not roam | B |
| At the attic window I take my stand | C |
| And tighten the curtain sail | D |
| Then ahoy I ride the leagues of land | C |
| Whether in calm or gale | D |
| - | |
| Tree at anchor along the road | E |
| Bow as I speed along | F |
| At sunny brooks in the valley I load | E |
| Cargoes of blossom and song | F |
| Stories I take on the passing wind | G |
| From the plains and forest seas | H |
| And the Golden Fleece I yet will find | G |
| And the fruit of Hesperides | H |
| - | |
| Steady I keep my watchful eyes | H |
| As I range the thousand miles | H |
| Till evening tides in western skies | H |
| Turn gold the cloudland isles | H |
| Then fast is the hatch and dark the screen | I |
| And I bring my cabin light | J |
| With a wink I change to a submarine | I |
| And drop in the sea of Night | J |
