Why I Am Poor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEAEAEE| Because my friends I have a savage glee | A |
| In drinking to the dregs the draughts of life | B |
| And love to feel my spirit spreading free | A |
| Stretching itself through every calm and strife | B |
| Or stealing through the secret souls of others | C |
| Because thank God I'm made of simple stuff | D |
| And prize the friendship of my ragged brothers | C |
| Because I love my liberty enough | D |
| To starve for it at times because forsooth | E |
| I do not flout my manhood for a fee | A |
| Or care a straw for anything but Truth | E |
| And the warm pulse of human sympathy | A |
| Because in brief I want no worldly wealth | E |
| But riches of the soul and buoyant health | E |
