The Meditation Of The Old Fisherman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CBCB DBDB| You waves though you dance by my feet like children at play | A |
| Though you glow and you glance though you purr and you dart | B |
| In the Junes that were warmer than these are the waves were more gay | A |
| When I was a boy with never a crack in my heart | B |
| - | |
| The herring are not in the tides as they were of old | C |
| My sorrow for many a creak gave the creel in the cart | B |
| That carried the take to Sligo town to be sold | C |
| When I was a boy with never a crack in my heart | B |
| - | |
| And ah you proud maiden you are not so fair when his oar | D |
| Is heard on the water as they were the proud and apart | B |
| Who paced in the eve by the nets on the pebbly shore | D |
| When Iwas a boy with never a crack in my heart | B |
