Horse Fiddle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMLBNNO| FIRST I would like to write for you a poem to be shouted in the teeth of a strong wind | A |
| Next I would like to write one for you to sit on a hill and read down the river valley on a late summer afternoon reading it in less than a whisper to Jack on his soft wire legs learning to stand up and preach Jack in the pulpit | B |
| As many poems as I have written to the moon and the streaming of the moon spinners of light so many of the summer moon and the winter moon I would like to shoot along to your ears for nothing for a laugh a song | C |
| for nothing at all | D |
| for one look from you | E |
| for your face turned away | F |
| and your voice in one clutch | G |
| half way between a tree wind moan | H |
| and a night bird sob | I |
| Believe nothing of it all pay me nothing open your window for the other singers and keep it shut for me | J |
| The road I am on is a long road and I can go hungry again like I have gone hungry before | K |
| What else have I done nearly all my life than go hungry and go on singing | L |
| Leave me with the hoot owl | M |
| I have slept in a blanket listening | L |
| He learned it he must have learned it | B |
| From two moons the summer moon | N |
| And the winter moon | N |
| And the streaming of the moon spinners of light | O |
