Lucinda Matlock Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLAMNAOEPC QR| I went to the dances at Chandlerville | A |
| And played snap out at Winchester | B |
| One time we changed partners | C |
| Driving home in the moonlight of middle June | D |
| And then I found Davis | E |
| We were married and lived together for seventy years | F |
| Enjoying working raising the twelve children | G |
| Eight of whom we lost | H |
| Ere I had reached the age of sixty | I |
| I spun I wove I kept the house I nursed the sick | J |
| I made the garden and for holiday | K |
| Rambled over the fields where sang the larks | L |
| And by Spoon River gathering many a shell | A |
| And many a flower and medicinal weed | M |
| Shouting to the wooded hills singing to the green valleys | N |
| At ninety six I had lived enough that is all | A |
| And passed to a sweet repose | O |
| What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness | E |
| Anger discontent and drooping hopes | P |
| Degenerate sons and daughters | C |
| Life is too strong for you | Q |
| It takes life to love Life | R |
