Cold Are The Crabs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDFGCold are the crabs that crawl on yonder hills | A |
Colder the cucumbers that grow beneath | B |
And colder still the brazen chops that wreathe | B |
The tedious gloom of philosophic pills | A |
For when the tardy film of nectar fills | A |
The simple bowls of demons and of men | C |
There lurks the feeble mouse the homely hen | C |
And there the porcupine with all her quills | A |
Yet much remains to weave a solemn strain | D |
That lingering sadly slowly dies away | E |
Daily departing with departing day | E |
A pea green gamut on a distant plain | D |
When wily walrusses in congresses meet | F |
Such such is life | G |
Edward Lear
