Shack Dye Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGDHIJKLMNOPQRO| The white men played all sorts of jokes on me | A |
| They took big fish off my hook | B |
| And put little ones on while I was away | C |
| Getting a stringer and made me believe | D |
| I hadn't seen aright the fish I had caught | E |
| When Burr Robbins circus came to town | F |
| They got the ring master to let a tame leopard | G |
| Into the ring and made me believe | D |
| I was whipping a wild beast like Samson | H |
| When I for an offer of fifty dollars | I |
| Dragged him out to his cage | J |
| One time I entered my blacksmith shop | K |
| And shook as I saw some horse shoes crawling | L |
| Across the floor as if alive | M |
| Walter Simmons had put a magnet | N |
| Under the barrel of water | O |
| Yet everyone of you you white men | P |
| Was fooled about fish and about leopards too | Q |
| And you didn't know any more than the horse shoes did | R |
| What moved you about Spoon River | O |
