A Channel Passage Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFEE| The damned ship lurched and slithered Quiet and quick | A |
| My cold gorge rose the long sea rolled I knew | B |
| I must think hard of something or be sick | A |
| And could think hard of only one thing you | B |
| You you alone could hold my fancy ever | C |
| And with you memories come sharp pain and dole | D |
| Now there's a choice heartache or tortured liver | C |
| A sea sick body or a you sick soul | D |
| - | |
| Do I forget you Retchings twist and tie me | E |
| Old meat good meals brown gobbets up I throw | F |
| Do I remember Acrid return and slimy | E |
| The sobs and slobber of a last years woe | F |
| And still the sick ship rolls 'Tis hard I tell ye | E |
| To choose 'twixt love and nausea heart and belly | E |
