The Picture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE AGHG AIDI| Here is a sea legged sailor | A |
| Come to this tottering Inn | B |
| Just when the bronze on its signboard is fading | C |
| And the black shades of evening begin | B |
| - | |
| With his head on thick paws sleeps a sheep dog | D |
| There stoops the Shepherd and see | E |
| All follow my leader the ducks waddle homeward | F |
| Under the sycamore tree | E |
| - | |
| Very brown is the face of the Sailor | A |
| His bundle is crimson and green | G |
| Are the thick leafy boughs that hang dense o'er the Tavern | H |
| And blue the far meadows between | G |
| - | |
| But the Crust Ale and Cheese of the Sailor | A |
| His Mug and his platter of Delf | I |
| And the crescent to light home the Shepherd and Sheep dog | D |
| The painter has kept to himself | I |
