The Wind Blew Shrill And Smart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCB DDEFFE GGHIIH| THE wind blew shrill and smart | A |
| And the wind awoke my heart | A |
| Again to go a sailing o'er the sea | B |
| To hear the cordage moan | C |
| And the straining timbers groan | C |
| And to see the flying pennon lie a lee | B |
| - | |
| O sailor of the fleet | D |
| It is time to stir the feet | D |
| It's time to man the dingy and to row | E |
| It's lay your hand in mine | F |
| And it's empty down the wine | F |
| And it's drain a health to death before we go | E |
| - | |
| To death my lads we sail | G |
| And it's death that blows the gale | G |
| And death that holds the tiller as we ride | H |
| For he's the king of all | I |
| In the tempest and the squall | I |
| And the ruler of the Ocean wild and wide | H |
