The Hammock's Complaint Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEFFGGHHIIJJCCKK| Who thinks how desolate and strange | A |
| To me must seem the autumn's change | A |
| When housed in attic or in chest | B |
| A lonely and unwilling guest | B |
| I lie through nights of bleak December | C |
| And think in silence and remember | C |
| - | |
| I think of hempen fields where I | D |
| Once played with insects floating by | D |
| And joyed alike in sun and rain | E |
| Unconscious of approaching pain | E |
| I dwell upon my later lot | F |
| Where swung in some secluded spot | F |
| Between two tried and trusted trees | G |
| All summer long I wooed the breeze | G |
| With song of bee and call of bird | H |
| And lover's secrets overheard | H |
| And sight and scent of blooming flowers | I |
| To fill the happy sunlight's hours | I |
| When verdant fields grow bare and brown | J |
| When forest leaves come raining down | J |
| When frost has mated with the weather | C |
| And all the birds go south together | C |
| When drying boats turn up their keels | K |
| Who wonders how the hammock feels | K |
