Sailor's Sweetheart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCCB DDDB EEEB| He sleeps beside me in the bed | A |
| Upon my breast I hold his head | A |
| Oh how I would that we were wed | A |
| For he sails in the morning | B |
| - | |
| I wish I had not been so kind | C |
| But love is fain and passion blind | C |
| While out of sight is out of mind | C |
| And he ships in the morning | B |
| - | |
| I feel his bairn stir in my womb | D |
| Poor wee one born to bitter doom | D |
| How dreary dark will be the gloom | D |
| When he goes in the morning | B |
| - | |
| A sailor lad has need to court | E |
| A loving lass in every port | E |
| To him it's just a bit of sport | E |
| My heart break's in the morning | B |
