The Fool And The Fire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DEDEFDFD CGCGCHCH| A fool and a bag in a belt of scrub | A |
| Cloudless skies and the still hot days | B |
| And the countryside's in a mad hubbub | A |
| Terror is here and the world's ablaze | B |
| Five thousand sheep went West today | C |
| Bell's home at the crossing and Casey's pub | A |
| And the cause of it all is a world away | C |
| A fool with a bag who passed the scrub | A |
| - | |
| An oaf with a match in a mile of grass | D |
| Where yesterday the skies shone clear | E |
| But fury leapt where he came to pass | D |
| And now ten miles away comes fear | E |
| Men toil and sweat in the reeking smoke | F |
| That curling drifts to a sky of brass | D |
| And now black ruin and homeless folk | F |
| Are toll to an oaf in a mile of grass | D |
| - | |
| If the fool be caught can the fool repay | C |
| What is to do but build again | G |
| And hope for the dawn of a better day | C |
| When folly is shorn from the ways of men | G |
| What is to do but hope and pray | C |
| While the scars heal slow in a blackened land | H |
| That the fool shall no more pass this way | C |
| With the seeds of terror in his hand | H |
