Road-side Dog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A| I went on a journey in order to acquaint myself with my province in a two horse wagon with a lot of fodder and a tin bucket rattling in the back The bucket was required for the horses to drink from I traveled through a country of hills and pine groves that gave way to woodlands where swirls of smoke hovered over the roofs of houses as if they were on fire for they were chimneyless cabins I crossed districts of fields and lakes It was so interesting to be moving to give the horses their rein and wait until in the next valley a village slowly appeared or a park with the white spot of a manor house in it And always we were barked at by a dog assiduous in its duty That was the beginning of the century this is its end I have been thinking not only of the people who lived there once but also of the generations of dogs accompanying them in their everyday bustle and one night I don't know where it came from in a pre dawn sleep that funny and tender phrase composed itself a road side dog | A |
