By A Retired Mariner, H. H. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAAACDECDEAA| From early youth I ploughed the restless Main | A |
| My mind as restless and as apt to change | B |
| Through every clime and ocean did I range | B |
| In hope at length a competence to gain | A |
| For poor to Sea I went and poor I still remain | A |
| Year after year I strove but strove in vain | A |
| And hardships manifold did I endure | C |
| For Fortune on me never deigned to smile | D |
| Yet I at last a resting place have found | E |
| With just enough life's comforts to procure | C |
| In a snug Cove on this our favoured Isle | D |
| A peaceful spot where Nature's gifts abound | E |
| Then sure I have no reason to complain | A |
| Though poor to Sea I went and poor I still remain | A |
