River-mates Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JDKLMNOI| I'll be an otter and I'll let you swim | A |
| A mate beside me we will venture down | B |
| A deep dark river when the sky above | C |
| Is shut of the sun spoilers are we | D |
| Thick coated no dog's tooth can bite at our veins | E |
| With eyes and ears of poachers deep earthed ones | F |
| Turned hunters let him slip past | G |
| The little vole my teeth are on an edge | H |
| For the King fish of the River | I |

| I hold him up | J |
| The glittering salmon that smells of the sea | D |
| I hold him high and whistle | K |
| Now we go | L |
| Back to our earths we will tear and eat | M |
| Sea smelling salmon you will tell the cubs | N |
| I am the Booty bringer I am the Lord | O |
| Of the River the deep dark full and flowing River | I |
