Aaron Stark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACBA DDEFGE| Withal a meagre man was Aaron Stark | A |
| Cursed and unkempt shrewd shrivelled and morose | B |
| A miser was he with a miser's nose | C |
| And eyes like little dollars in the dark | A |
| His thin pinched mouth was nothing but a mark | A |
| And when he spoke there came like sullen blows | C |
| Through scattered fangs a few snarled words and close | B |
| As if a cur were chary of its bark | A |
| - | |
| Glad for the murmur of his hard renown | D |
| Year after year he shambled through the town | D |
| A loveless exile moving with a staff | E |
| And oftentimes there crept into his ears | F |
| A sound of alien pity touched with tears | G |
| And then and only then did Aaron laugh | E |
