Oscar Hummel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIDJCKLMNOP| I staggered on through darkness | A |
| There was a hazy sky a few stars | B |
| Which I followed as best I could | C |
| It was nine o'clock I was trying to get home | D |
| But somehow I was lost | E |
| Though really keeping the road | F |
| Then I reeled through a gate and into a yard | G |
| And called at the top of my voice | H |
| Oh Fiddler Oh Mr Jones | I |
| I thought it was his house and he would show me the way home | D |
| But who should step out but A D Blood | J |
| In his night shirt waving a stick of wood | C |
| And roaring about the cursed saloons | K |
| And the criminals they made | L |
| You drunken Oscar Hummel he said | M |
| As I stood there weaving to and fro | N |
| Taking the blows from the stick in his hand | O |
| Till I dropped down dead at his feet | P |
