Muckers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAAAADE FGG| Twenty men stand watching the muckers | A |
| Stabbing the sides of the ditch | B |
| Where clay gleams yellow | C |
| Driving the blades of their shovels | A |
| Deeper and deeper for the new gas mains | A |
| Wiping sweat off their faces | A |
| With red bandanas | A |
| The muckers work on pausing to pull | D |
| Their boots out of suckholes where they slosh | E |
| - | |
| Of the twenty looking on | F |
| Ten murmer O its a hell of a job | G |
| Ten others Jesus I wish I had the job | G |
