No ship of all that under sail or steam
Have gathered people to us more and more
But Pilgrim-manned the Mayflower in a dream
Has been her anxious convoy in to shore.

    After reading this poem I have nothing other to say than this….I love this new country of mine called America where anything can happen, Even a slob like me to get a girl for the low cost of $52 a night

    Its actually a lyric poem, as it rhymes. The ryhme scheme being abab. I guess it symbolizes how the Pilgrims were one of the first group of people to come here, and that made others realize that they should come too.
