Benjamin Painter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJEK| Together in this grave lie Benjamin Painter attorney at law | A |
| And Nig his dog constant companion solace and friend | B |
| Down the grey road friends children men and women | C |
| Passing one by one out of life left me till I was alone | D |
| With Nig for partner bed fellow comrade in drink | E |
| In the morning of life I knew aspiration and saw glory | F |
| Then she who survives me snared my soul | G |
| With a snare which bled me to death | H |
| Till I once strong of sill lay broken indifferent | I |
| Living with Nig in a room back of a dingy office | J |
| Under my jaw bone is snuggled the bony nose of Nig | E |
| Our story is lost in silence Go by mad world | K |
