IN the harbor, in the island, in the Spanish Seas,
Are the tiny white houses and the orange trees,
And day-long, night-long, the cool and pleasant breeze
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
There is the red wine, the nutty Spanish ale,
The shuffle of the dancers, the old salt's tale,
The squeaking fiddle, and the soughing in the sail
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.
And o' nights there's fire-flies and the yellow moon,
And in the ghostly palm-trees the sleepy tune
Of the quiet voice calling me, the long low croon
Of the steady Trade Winds blowing.

ReplyDeleteThe rhyme scheme is pretty noticeable.
It goes: a-a-a-b-c-c-c-b-d-d-d-b
Alliteration could be found in the second line from last to first: "long low" then in the very first line on top we have the: "Spanish seas," on the second verse third stanzas we have: "squeaking, soughing, sail" but I'm not very sure of it because they are not that close together.
Repetition is definitely seen: "Of the steady Trade Winds blowing"

ReplyDeleteIt is a very catchy poem. It has a lot of rhymes and it is very descriptive too. I feel like the poem was about a journey on the seas. There's definite a pattern on the rhymes and there are too a few other things, simile and metaphors. Metaphors like "palm-trees sleepy tune" or similes like the "yellow moon"
Jose Espada is a pretty good poem with a lot of rhymes , great liric is like a rap poem.It have a variation of repeating words with a purpose and that purpose is the description of the life of the people that travels around the the differents seas "in special the caribean seas". WE can said tha it have a releationship with metaphors and aliterations making this one a very fun poem.
