Homer Clapp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMANOPFQ| Often Aner Clute at the gate | A |
| Refused me the parting kiss | B |
| Saying we should be engaged before that | C |
| And just with a distant clasp of the hand | D |
| She bade me good night as I brought her home | E |
| From the skating rink or the revival | F |
| No sooner did my departing footsteps die away | G |
| Than Lucius Atherton | H |
| So I learned when Aner went to Peoria | I |
| Stole in at her window or took her riding | J |
| Behind his spanking team of bays | K |
| Into the country | L |
| The shock of it made me settle down | M |
| And I put all the money I got from my father's estate | A |
| Into the canning factory to get the job | N |
| Of head accountant and lost it all | O |
| And then I knew I was one of Life's fools | P |
| Whom only death would treat as the equal | F |
| Of other men making me feel like a man | Q |
