Song Of The Wheelman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EF EFGHGH GI GIAJ AJ| Over my desk in a dark office bending | A |
| Dim seems the sunlight and dull seems the day | B |
| But when the afternoon draws toward an ending | A |
| Here waits my steel steed I mount and away | B |
| Like cobwebs of silver I see in the distance | C |
| The glint of bright wheels I must follow and find | D |
| What life in the air now what zest in existence | C |
| As faster and faster I race with the wind | D |
| - | |
| Down the smooth pavements and out toward the heather | E |
| Ho fellows ho I am coming you see | F |
| - | |
| Breast to breast now let us speed on together | E |
| Who dares try mounting that hillside with me | F |
| Over the bridge I go past the green meadows | G |
| Au revoir boys I will ride on alone | H |
| For in yon cottage half hid in the shadows | G |
| Waiting for me is my sweetheart my own | H |
| - | |
| She watches my wheel as it glitters and glistens | G |
| Down the steep crest of the daisy starred hill | I |
| - | |
| Fair is her cheek as she waits there and listens | G |
| For the sure signal blown tenderly shrill | I |
| Sweetheart my sweetheart I'm coming I'm coming | A |
| Here sturdy steed you may stand by the wall | J |
| - | |
| A bird to her mate has flown swift thro' the gloaming | A |
| Love youth and summer thank God for them all | J |
