The Fisher Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKAKLMNM OPMPQBRBKSTUVWGW| ALL night a noise of leaping fish | A |
| Went round the bay | B |
| And up and down the shallow sands | C |
| Sang waters at their play | B |
| The mangroves drooped on salty creeks | D |
| And through the dark | E |
| Making a pale patch in the deep | F |
| Gleamed as it swam a shark | E |
| In streaks and twists of sudden fire | G |
| Among the reeds | H |
| The bream went by and where they passed | I |
| The bubbles shone like beads | H |
| All night the full deep drinking song | J |
| Of Nature stirred | K |
| And nought beside save leaping fish | A |
| And some forlorn night bird | K |
| No lost wind wandered down the hills | L |
| To tell of wide | M |
| Wild waterways on velvet moved | N |
| The silky sucking tide | M |
| Deep down there sloped in shadowy mass | O |
| A giant hill | P |
| And midway mirrored in the tide | M |
| The stars burned large and still | P |
| The fisher dreaming on the rocks | Q |
| Heard Nature say | B |
| Strange secret things that none may hear | R |
| Upon the beaten way | B |
| And whisperings and wonder stirred | K |
| And hopes and fears | S |
| And sadness touched his heart and filled | T |
| His eyes with star stained tears | U |
| And so thrilled through with joy and love | V |
| And sweet distress | W |
| He stood entranced enchained by her | G |
| Full breasted loveliness | W |
