Lillian Stewart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEFFGHIJKELMNOPQ RS| I was the daughter of Lambert Hutchins | A |
| Born in a cottage near the grist mill | B |
| Reared in the mansion there on the hill | B |
| With its spires bay windows and roof of slate | C |
| How proud my mother was of the mansion | D |
| How proud of father's rise in the world | E |
| And how my father loved and watched us | F |
| And guarded our happiness | F |
| But I believe the house was a curse | G |
| For father's fortune was little beside it | H |
| And when my husband found he had married | I |
| A girl who was really poor | J |
| He taunted me with the spires | K |
| And called the house a fraud on the world | E |
| A treacherous lure to young men raising hopes | L |
| Of a dowry not to be had | M |
| And a man while selling his vote | N |
| Should get enough from the people's betrayal | O |
| To wall the whole of his family in | P |
| He vexed my life till I went back home | Q |
| And lived like an old maid till I died | R |
| Keeping house for father | S |
