The Lean, Brown Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE AFGFHIJI IKLKKIMI IKKKCINI

There's a big brown man in the hinterlandA
Whom the nation had forgotB
He's a stolid man and a patient manC
And he does not talk a lotB
And the seasons frown or the seasons smileD
As he toils to sow to reapE
And as he toils he thinks the whileD
And his thoughts are long and deepE
-
-
There's a silent man in the hinterlandA
A land of earth stained clownsF
To the little street bred people coopedG
In the noisy seaboard townsF
In the towns where many a catch cry's raisedH
And devious scheme devisedI
Where the talkers reign and thoughts like menJ
Grow smug and standardisedI
-
-
There's a quite man in the hinterlandI
Who scorns the shifts and tricksK
Of the little men that talk and schemeL
In the game of politicsK
They have wooed him long with sly pretenceK
Thro' many a season pastI
He was deemed a fool and he suffered muchM
But his patience ends at lastI
-
-
There's a patient man in the hinterlandI
Who has scant time for wordsK
For the sounding phrase and the cries they raiseK
To sway the thoughtless herdsK
Long has he toiled this patient manC
That the folk be fed and housedI
But guile shall know no sterner foeN
Than the patient man arousedI
