Now, let's break the poem down just a bit. If memory serves, this poem originally appeared as a song sung by a character in the Reverend's book entitled, "The Water-Babies". The gravity of the song, in my opinion, is best understood when you read the book and are able to understand the full context as a result. For the purposes of this blog, however, we'll just be doing a basic analysis using only the connotation and symbolism.
Before we get into the specifics of symbols (which, in the case of this poem, shouldn't be a particularly difficult explanation), I'd like to touch on the meter and rhyme scheme. If you are familiar with the concepts of meter, you may have noticed that this poem is set to what would seem to be an altered iambic trimeter. The alteration is very slight: a substitution of a single tribrach in place of the last iambic metra of every odd line.
