The Ground Thrush Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCB DEFEBBBE GHGICCCH| I'm a business man and I can't spare time | A |
| For this fluting and fussing and frilling | B |
| The song of my cousin may be sublime | A |
| But I never have found it filling | B |
| So I run and I dig and I dig and I run | C |
| And I'm at it soon as the day's begun | C |
| And I never knock off till the light is done | C |
| Over the garden and lawn and tilling | B |
| - | |
| I'm a business man on my business bent | D |
| And I've never an hour of leisure | E |
| I have little regard for sentiment | F |
| And I fritter no time in pleasure | E |
| But I dig and I run and I run and I dig | B |
| And you never see me at my ease on a twig | B |
| Prinking and posing in holiday rig | B |
| Or trilling a tuneful measure | E |
| - | |
| I'm a business man and I've much to do | G |
| So the day's work must be speeded | H |
| For time is fleeting and worms are few | G |
| I've never had all I needed | I |
| So I run and I dig and I dig and I run | C |
| From sun to shadow from shadow to sun | C |
| I'm a business man and the world I shun | C |
| So I live and I die unheeded | H |
