Two Sat Down Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH IJIJ| Two sat down in the morning time | A |
| One to sing and one to spin | B |
| All men listened the song sublime | A |
| But no one listened the dull wheel's din | B |
| - | |
| The singer sat in a pleasant nook | C |
| And sang of a life that was fair and sweet | D |
| While the spinner sat with a steadfast look | C |
| Busily plying her hands and feet | D |
| - | |
| The singer sang on with a rose in her hair | E |
| And all men listened her dulcet tone | F |
| And the spinner spun on with a dull despair | E |
| Down in her heart as she sat alone | F |
| - | |
| But lo on the morrow no one said | G |
| Aught of the singer or what she sang | H |
| Men were saying Behold this thread | G |
| And loud the praise of the spinner rang | H |
| - | |
| The world has forgotten the singer's name | I |
| Her rose is faded her songs are old | J |
| But far o'er the ocean the spinner's fame | I |
| Yet is blazoned in lines of gold | J |
