The Happy Slow Thinker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EAEA| Full many a time a thought has come | A |
| That had a bitter meaning in it | B |
| And in the conversation's hum | A |
| I lost it ere I could begin it | B |
| - | |
| I've had it on my tongue to spring | C |
| Some poisoned quip that I thought clever | D |
| Then something happened and the sting | C |
| Unuttered went and died forever | D |
| - | |
| A lot of bitter thoughts I've had | E |
| To silence fellows and to flay 'em | A |
| But next day always I've been glad | E |
| I wasn't quick enough to say 'em | A |
