Uncle Jim Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH JAKA| White folks is white says uncle Jim | A |
| A platitude I sneer | B |
| And then I tell him so is milk | C |
| And the froth upon his beer | B |
| - | |
| His heart walled up with bitterness | D |
| He smokes his pungent pipe | E |
| And nods at me as if to say | F |
| Young fool you ll soon be ripe | E |

| I have a friend who eats his heart | G |
| Always with grief of mine | H |
| Who drinks my joy as tipplers drain | I |
| Deep goblets filled with wine | H |
| - | |
| I wonder why here at his side | J |
| Face in the grass with him | A |
| My mind should stray the Grecian urn | K |
| To muse on uncle Jim | A |
