My Ship And I Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCB DEFFE GHIIH| O it's I that am the captain of a tidy little ship | A |
| Of a ship that goes a sailing on the pond | B |
| And my ship it keeps a turning all around and all about | C |
| But when I'm a little older I shall find the secret out | C |
| How to send my vessel sailing on beyond | B |
| - | |
| For I mean to grow a little as the dolly at the helm | D |
| And the dolly I intend to come alive | E |
| And with him beside to help me it's a sailing I shall go | F |
| It's a sailing on the water when the jolly breezes blow | F |
| And the vessel goes a dive dive dive | E |
| - | |
| O it's then you'll see me sailing through the rushes and the reeds | G |
| And you'll hear the water singing at the prow | H |
| For beside the dolly sailor I'm to voyage and explore | I |
| To land upon the island where no dolly was before | I |
| And to fire the penny cannon in the bow | H |
