The Big Fellow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJIKLIAEMNOP QRASTUAV| A huge six footer | A |
| Eyes bay blue | B |
| And as deep | C |
| Lower jaw like a cliff | D |
| Tongue silent | E |
| As hard and strong as a husky | F |
| A little man | G |
| In a pressed suit | H |
| Standing before him | I |
| Had dug a name out of the past | J |
| And flung it at him | I |
| Under cover of law | K |
| The big fellow | L |
| Leaned over him | I |
| Like a steel girder | A |
| Just for a moment | E |
| Then swung around on his heel | M |
| Without striking | N |
| And I thought of the big Newfoundland | O |
| I saw asleep by a rock | P |
| The day before | Q |
| That was galvanized by a challenge | R |
| But eying a cur | A |
| He turned | S |
| Yawned | T |
| Closed one eye | U |
| Then the other | A |
| And slept | V |
