Abel Melveny Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFGGHIJKLMNOP| I bought every kind of machine that's known | A |
| Grinders shellers planters mowers | B |
| Mills and rakes and ploughs and threshers | B |
| And all of them stood in the rain and sun | C |
| Getting rusted warped and battered | D |
| For I had no sheds to store them in | E |
| And no use for most of them | F |
| And toward the last when I thought it over | G |
| There by my window growing clearer | G |
| About myself as my pulse slowed down | H |
| And looked at one of the mills I bought | I |
| Which I didn't have the slightest need of | J |
| As things turned out and I never ran | K |
| A fine machine once brightly varnished | L |
| And eager to do its work | M |
| Now with its paint washed off | N |
| I saw myself as a good machine | O |
| That Life had never used | P |
