Till The Wind Gets Right Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHFHAEIE FJBJKEFE| Oh the breeze is blowin' balmy | A |
| An the sun is in a haze | B |
| There's a cloud jest givin' coolness | C |
| To the laziest of days | B |
| There are crowds upon the lakeside | D |
| But the fish refuse to bite | E |
| So I'll wait and go a fishin' | F |
| When the wind gets right | E |
| - | |
| Now my boat tugs at her anchor | G |
| Eager now to kiss the spray | H |
| While the little waves are callin' | F |
| Drowsy sailor come away | H |
| There's a harbor for the happy | A |
| And its sheen is just in sight | E |
| But I won't set sail to get there | I |
| Till the wind gets right | E |
| - | |
| That's my trouble too I reckon | F |
| I've been waitin' all too long | J |
| Tho' the days were always | B |
| Still the wind is always wrong | J |
| An' when Gabriel blows his trumpet | K |
| In the day o' in the night | E |
| I will still be found waitin' | F |
| Till the wind gets right | E |
