Stars In The Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBDB EFEF GFGF HBHB IBIB| I took a boat on a starry night | A |
| and went for a row on the water | B |
| and she danced like a child on a wake of light | A |
| and bowed where the ripples caught her | B |
| - | |
| I vowed as I rowed on the velvet blue | C |
| through the night and the starry spendour | B |
| to woo and sue a maiden I know | D |
| till she bent to my pleading tender | B |
| - | |
| My painted boat she was light and glad | E |
| and gladder my heart was wishing | F |
| and I came in time to a little lad | E |
| who stood on the rocks a fishing | F |
| - | |
| I said Ahoy and he said Ahoy | G |
| and I asked how the fish were biting | F |
| And what are you trying to catch my boy | G |
| Bream silver and red or Whiting | F |
| - | |
| Neither he answered the seaweed mars | H |
| my line and the sharp shells sunder | B |
| I am trying my luck wth those great big stars | H |
| down there in the round skies under | B |
| - | |
| Goodbye from him and Goodbye from me | I |
| and never a laugh came after | B |
| So many fishing for stars in the sea | I |
| that it's hardly a subject for laughter | B |
