Frankenstein Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAABBA CCAAAA DDEFFE GHIJKI AAILLI AAJMMJWe roam about the countryside | A |
And view the farmlands rolling wide | A |
A picture surely this of peace of planty | A |
We mark within these sylvan scenes | B |
The whirr and clatter of machines | B |
That help one man to do the work of twenty | A |
- | |
We mark the orchards fruited deep | C |
The flocks of well contented sheep | C |
The drowsing kine all corpulent and sated | A |
We gaze with gladness undisguised | A |
And thank our stars we're civilised | A |
Yet long for life a shade less complicated | A |
- | |
For birds now vocal in the trees | D |
And beasts with grass about their knees | D |
Accept in simple wise the gifts abounding | E |
But of all creatures man alone | F |
The brainiest being ever known | F |
Must scratch his head and fall to self confounding | E |
- | |
Alas that man's own cleverness | G |
Should land him in this pretty mess | H |
Where man blames man and nation charges nation | I |
Tho' wise blokes con it o'er and o'er | J |
The sum of all their labored lore | K |
Seems but to complicate the complication | I |
- | |
To pluck an apple form a tree | A |
And feed upon it seems to be | A |
A simple act where none could be mistaken | I |
Alas our world has grown so big | L |
That tho' one man may raise a pig | L |
It needs a score to sell the breakfast bacon | I |
- | |
From earth alone man wins his bread | A |
By earth alone are all things fed | A |
A fact we'll recognise when we grow calmer | J |
Justice for all may then prevail | M |
For farmers first then down the scale | M |
To the man who farms the man who farms the farmer | J |
