Zenas Witt Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGEHIJKLMNAO| I was sixteen and I had the most terrible dreams | A |
| And specks before my eyes and nervous weakness | B |
| And I couldn't remember the books I read | C |
| Like Frank Drummer who memorized page after page | D |
| And my back was weak and I worried and worried | E |
| And I was embarrassed and stammered my lessons | F |
| And when I stood up to recite I'd forget | G |
| Everything that I had studied | E |
| Well I saw Dr Weese's advertisement | H |
| And there I read everything in print | I |
| Just as if he had known me | J |
| And about the dreams which I couldn't help | K |
| So I knew I was marked for an early grave | L |
| And I worried until I had a cough | M |
| And then the dreams stopped | N |
| And then I slept the sleep without dreams | A |
| Here on the hill by the river | O |
