Barrack-room Ballads Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGHWhen 'Omer smote 'is bloomin' lyre | A |
He'd 'eard men sing by land an' sea | B |
An' what he thought 'e might require | C |
'E went an' took the same as me | B |
- | |
The market girls an' fishermen | D |
The shepherds an' the sailors too | E |
They 'eard old songs turn up again | F |
But kep' it quiet same as you | E |
- | |
They knew 'e stole 'e knew they knowed | G |
They didn't tell nor make a fuss | H |
But winked at 'Omer down the road | G |
An' 'e winked back the same as us | H |
