The Last Trump Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAABCDCCD EFEEF GDGGD HIHHI JDJJD IDIID| You led the trump the old man said | A |
| With fury in his eye | B |
| And yet you hope my girl to wed | A |
| Young man your hopes of love are fled | A |
| 'Twere better she should die | B |
| My sweet young daughter sitting there | C |
| So innocent and plump | D |
| You don't suppose that she would care | C |
| To wed an outlawed man who'd dare | C |
| To lead the thirteenth trump | D |
| - | |
| If you had drawn their leading spade | E |
| It meant a certain win | F |
| But no By Pembroke's mighty shade | E |
| The thirteenth trump you went and played | E |
| And let their diamonds in | F |
| - | |
| My girl return at my command | G |
| His presents in a lump | D |
| Return his ring For understand | G |
| No man is fit to hold your hand | G |
| Who leads a thirteenth trump | D |
| - | |
| But hold Give every man his due | H |
| And every dog his day | I |
| Speak up and say what made you do | H |
| This dreadful thing that is if you | H |
| Have anything to say | I |
| - | |
| He spoke I meant at first said he | J |
| To give their spades a bump | D |
| Or lead the hearts but then you see | J |
| I thought against us there might be | J |
| Perhaps a fourteenth trump | D |
| - | |
| They buried him at dawn of day | I |
| Beside a ruined stump | D |
| And there he sleeps the hours away | I |
| And waits for Gabriel to play | I |
| The last the fourteenth trump | D |
