Cooney Potter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEBFGHIJI inherited forty acres from my Father | A |
And by working my wife my two sons and two daughters | B |
From dawn to dusk I acquired | C |
A thousand acres | B |
But not content | D |
Wishing to own two thousand acres | B |
I bustled through the years with axe and plow | E |
Toiling denying myself my wife my sons my daughters | B |
Squire Higbee wrongs me to say | F |
That I died from smoking Red Eagle cigars | G |
Eating hot pie and gulping coffee | H |
During the scorching hours of harvest time | I |
Brought me here ere I had reached my sixtieth year | J |
