Blood Feud Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC EFEFGG| Once when my husband was a child there came | A |
| To his father's table one who called him kin | B |
| In sunbleached corduroys paler than his skin | B |
| His look was grave and kind he bore the name | A |
| Of the dead singer of Senlac and his smile | C |
| Shyly and courteously he smiled and spoke | D |
| I've been in the laurel since the winter broke | D |
| Four months I reckon yes sir quite a while | C |
| - | |
| He'd killed a score of foemen in the past | E |
| In some blood feud a dark and monstrous thing | F |
| To him it seemed his duty At the last | E |
| His enemies found him by a forest spring | F |
| Which as he died lay bright beneath his head | G |
| A silver shield that slowly turned to red | G |
