Raisin Pie Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDECECFCF CGHGCIJIAFHF IKHKILMLNICI| There's a heap of pent up goodness | A |
| in the yellow bantam corn | B |
| And I sort o' like to linger | C |
| round a berry patch at morn | B |
| Oh the Lord has set our table | D |
| with a stock o' things to eat | E |
| An' there's just enough o' bitter | C |
| in the blend to cut the sweet | E |
| But I run the whole list over | C |
| an' it seems somehow that I | F |
| Find the keenest sort o' pleasure | C |
| in a chunk o' raisin pie | F |
| - | |
| There are pies that start the water | C |
| circulatin' in the mouth | G |
| There are pies that wear the flavor of | H |
| the warm an' sunny south | G |
| Some with oriental spices spur | C |
| the drowsy appetite | I |
| An' just fill a fellow's being | J |
| with a thrill o' real delight | I |
| But for downright solid goodness | A |
| that comes drippin' from the sky | F |
| There is nothing quite the equal of | H |
| a chunk o' raisin pie | F |
| - | |
| I'm admittin' tastes are diff'runt | I |
| I'm not settin' up myself | K |
| As the judge an' final critic of | H |
| the good things on the shelf | K |
| I'm sort o' payin' tribute | I |
| to a simple joy on earth | L |
| Sort o' feebly testifyin' to its | M |
| lasting charm an' worth | L |
| An' I'll hold to this conclusion | N |
| till it comes my time to die | I |
| That there's no dessert that's finer | C |
| than a chunk o' raisin pie | I |
