Fisherfolk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHIHI CJCJKLML| I like to look at fishermen | A |
| And oftentimes I wish | B |
| One would be lucky now and then | C |
| And catch a little fish | B |
| I watch them statuesquely stand | D |
| And at the water look | E |
| But if they pull their float to land | D |
| It's just to bait a hook | E |
| - | |
| I ponder the psychology | F |
| That roots them in their place | G |
| And wonder at the calm I see | F |
| In ever angler's face | G |
| There is such patience in their eyes | H |
| Beside the river's brink | I |
| And waiting for a bite or rise | H |
| I do not think they think | I |
| - | |
| Or else they are just gentle men | C |
| Who love they know not why | J |
| Greeen grace of trees or water when | C |
| It wimples to the sky | J |
| Sweet simple souls As vain I watch | K |
| My heart to you is kind | L |
| Most precious prize of all you catch | M |
| Just Peace of Mind | L |
