Cold Are The Crabs Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCADEEDFG| Cold 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 |
