Claud Halcro's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA CDCDEAEA FGHGEAEA IJIJKAKA

Farewell to NorthmavenA
Grey Hillswicke farewellB
The storms on thy havenA
The storms on thy fellB
To each breeze that can varyC
The mood of thy mainA
And to thee bonny MaryC
We meet not againA
-
Farewell the wild ferryC
Which Hacon could braveD
When the peaks of the SkerryC
Where white in the waveD
There's a maid may look overE
These wild waves in vainA
For the skiff of her loverE
He comes not againA
-
The vows thou hast brokeF
On the wild currents fling themG
On the quicksand and rockH
Let the mermaidens sing themG
New sweetness they'll give herE
Bewildering strainA
But there's one who will neverE
Believe them againA
-
O were there an islandI
Though ever so wildJ
Where woman could smile andI
No man be beguiledJ
Too tempting a snareK
To poor mortals were givenA
And the hope would fix thereK
That should anchor in heavenA
