The Poor Man's Pig Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| Already fallen plum bloom stars the green | A |
| And apple boughs as knarred as old toads' backs | B |
| Wear their small roses ere a rose is seen | A |
| The building thrush watches old Job who stacks | B |
| The bright peeled osiers on the sunny fence | C |
| The pent sow grunts to hear him stumping by | D |
| And tries to push the bolt and scamper thence | C |
| But her ringed snout still keeps her to the sty | D |
| - | |
| Then out he lets her run away she snorts | E |
| In bundling gallop for the cottage door | F |
| With hungry hubbub begging crusts and orts | E |
| Then like the whirlwind bumping round once more | F |
| Nuzzling the dog making the pullets run | G |
| And sulky as a child when her play's done | G |
