Hon. Henry Bennett Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFAGHIJKLM

It never came into my mindA
Until I was ready to dieB
That Jenny had loved me to death with malice of heartC
For I was seventy she was thirty fiveD
And I wore myself to a shadow trying to husbandE
Jenny rosy Jenny full of the ardor of lifeF
For all my wisdom and grace of mindA
Gave her no delight at all in very truthG
But ever and anon she spoke of the giant strengthH
Of Willard Shafer and of his wonderful featI
Of lifting a traction engine out of the ditchJ
One time at Georgie Kirby'sK
So Jenny inherited my fortune and married WillardL
That mount of brawn That clownish soulM
