Griffy The Cooper Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIJFKDD| The cooper should know about tubs | A |
| But I learned about life as well | B |
| And you who loiter around these graves | C |
| Think you know life | D |
| You think your eye sweeps about a wide horizon perhaps | E |
| In truth you are only looking around the interior of your tub | F |
| You cannot lift yourself to its rim | G |
| And see the outer world of things | H |
| And at the same time see yourself | I |
| You are submerged in the tub of yourself | I |
| Taboos and rules and appearances | J |
| Are the staves of your tub | F |
| Break them and dispel the witchcraft | K |
| Of thinking your tub is life | D |
| And that you know life | D |
