The White Seal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIEJJEOh hush thee my baby the night is behind us | A |
And black are the waters that sparkled so green | B |
The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us | A |
At rest in the hollows that rustle between | B |
Where billow meets billow there soft be thy pillow | C |
Ah weary wee flipperling curl at thy ease | D |
The storm shall not wake thee nor shark overtake thee | E |
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas | D |
- | |
You mustn't swim till you're six weeks old | F |
Or your head will be sunk by your heels | G |
And summer gales and Killer Whales | H |
Are bad for baby seals | G |
Are bad for baby seals dear rat | I |
As bad as bad can be | E |
But splash and grow strong | J |
And you can't be wrong | J |
Child of the Open Sea | E |
