The White Seal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIEJJE

Oh hush thee my baby the night is behind usA
And black are the waters that sparkled so greenB
The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find usA
At rest in the hollows that rustle betweenB
Where billow meets billow there soft be thy pillowC
Ah weary wee flipperling curl at thy easeD
The storm shall not wake thee nor shark overtake theeE
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seasD
-
You mustn't swim till you're six weeks oldF
Or your head will be sunk by your heelsG
And summer gales and Killer WhalesH
Are bad for baby sealsG
Are bad for baby seals dear ratI
As bad as bad can beE
But splash and grow strongJ
And you can't be wrongJ
Child of the Open SeaE

Rudyard Kipling
