Fiddler Jones Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEEFGHIJKLEMEMMMD NOMCMP| The earth keeps some vibration going | A |
| There in your heart and that is you | B |
| And if the people find you can fiddle | C |
| Why fiddle you must for all your life | D |
| What do you see a harvest of clover | E |
| Or a meadow to walk through to the river | E |
| The wind's in the corn you rub your hands | F |
| For beeves hereafter ready for market | G |
| Or else you hear the rustle of skirts | H |
| Like the girls when dancing at Little Grove | I |
| To Cooney Potter a pillar of dust | J |
| Or whirling leaves meant ruinous drouth | K |
| They looked to me like Red Head Sammy | L |
| Stepping it off to Toor a Loor | E |
| How could I till my forty acres | M |
| Not to speak of getting more | E |
| With a medley of horns bassoons and piccolos | M |
| Stirred in my brain by crows and robins | M |
| And the creak of a wind mill only these | M |
| And I never started to plow in my life | D |
| That some one did not stop in the road | N |
| And take me away to a dance or picnic | O |
| I ended up with forty acres | M |
| I ended up with a broken fiddle | C |
| And a broken laugh and a thousand memories | M |
| And not a single regret | P |
