Fire Dreams Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBBBD BE BBF GAHB BIJBK| I REMEMBER here by the fire | A |
| In the flickering reds and saffrons | B |
| They came in a ramshackle tub | C |
| Pilgrims in tall hats | B |
| Pilgrims of iron jaws | B |
| Drifting by weeks on beaten seas | B |
| And the random chapters say | B |
| They were glad and sang to God | D |
| - | |
| And so | B |
| Since the iron jawed men sat down | E |
| And said 'Thanks O God ' | - |
| For life and soup and a little less | B |
| Than a hobo handout to day | B |
| Since gray winds blew gray patterns of sleet on Plymouth Rock | F |
| Since the iron jawed men sang 'Thanks O God ' | - |
| You and I O Child of the West | G |
| Remember more than ever | A |
| November and the hunter's moon | H |
| November and the yellow spotted hills | B |
| - | |
| And so | B |
| In the name of the iron jawed men | I |
| I will stand up and say yes till the finish is come and gone | J |
| God of all broken hearts empty hands sleeping soldiers | B |
| God of all star flung beaches of night sky | K |
| I and my love child stand up together to day and sing 'Thanks O God ' | - |
