We May Roam Through This World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEF GHGHIJIJEFEF KLKLMNMNEFEF| We may roam through this world like a child at a feast | A |
| Who but sips of a sweet and then flies to the rest | B |
| And when pleasure begins to grow dull in the east | A |
| We may order our wings and be off to the west | B |
| But if hearts that feel and eyes that smile | C |
| Are the dearest gifts that heaven supplies | D |
| We never need leave our own green isle | C |
| For sensitive hearts and for sun bright eyes | D |
| Then remember wherever your goblet is crown'd | E |
| Through this world whether eastward or westward you roam | F |
| When a cup to the smile of dear woman goes round | E |
| Oh remember the smile which adorns her at home | F |
| - | |
| In England the garden of Beauty is kept | G |
| By a dragon of prudery placed within call | H |
| But so oft this unamiable dragon has slept | G |
| That the garden's but carelessly watch'd after all | H |
| Oh they want the wild sweet briery fence | I |
| Which round the flowers of Erin dwells | J |
| Which warns the touch while winning the sense | I |
| Nor charms us least when it most repels | J |
| Then remember wherever your goblet is crown'd | E |
| Through this world whether eastward or westward you roam | F |
| When a cup to the smile of dear woman goes round | E |
| Oh remember the smile that adorns her at home | F |
| - | |
| In France when the heart of a woman sets sail | K |
| On the ocean of wedlock its fortune to try | L |
| Love seldom goes far in a vessel so frail | K |
| But just pilots her off and then bids her good bye | L |
| While the daughters of Erin keep the boy | M |
| Ever smiling beside his faithful oar | N |
| Through billows of woe and beams of joy | M |
| The same as he look's when he left the shore | N |
| Then remember wherever your goblet is crown'd | E |
| Through this world whether eastward or westward you roam | F |
| When a cup to the smile of dear woman goes round | E |
| Oh remember the smile that adorns her at home | F |
