The White Seal Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGHGIEJJE| Oh 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 |
