My Boy Jack? Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCBABBDBEBBEB'Have you news of my boy Jack ' | A |
Not this tide | B |
'When d'you think that he'll come back ' | A |
Not with this wind blowing and this tide | B |
'Has anyone else had word of him ' | A |
Not this tide | B |
For what is sunk will hardly swim | C |
Not with this wind blowing and this tide | B |
'Oh dear what comfort can I find ' | A |
None this tide | B |
Nor any tide | B |
Except he did not shame his kind | D |
Not even with that wind blowing and that tide | B |
Then hold your head up all the more | E |
This tide | B |
And every tide | B |
Because he was the son you bore | E |
And gave to that wind blowing and that tide | B |
