Jack Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA CACAD ADAEA EAFAF AGAHA IAI| YOU'RE only a dumb little dog Jack | A |
| About ten or twelve pounds or so | B |
| And your wits must be all in a fog Jack | A |
| If you have any wits I know | B |
| But you've two such soft brown eyes Jack | A |
| - | |
| And such long grey silky hair | C |
| And what very much more I prize Jack | A |
| Such a warm little heart in there | C |
| They say warm hearts are rare Jack | A |
| And I almost believe that it's true | D |
| - | |
| But there ar'n't many hearts can compare Jack | A |
| With that staunch little heart in you | D |
| Of course we that speak and can read Jack | A |
| Have plenty of friendships sweet | E |
| But in spite of them all there's a need Jack | A |
| - | |
| For a friend like the friend at my feet | E |
| This planet must seem a queer place Jack | A |
| To your poor little limited mind | F |
| For I fancy you never can trace Jack | A |
| The reasons for half that you find | F |
| - | |
| - | |
| You're not bothered with questions like us Jack | A |
| About forces and morals and laws | G |
| And you never get worried or fuss Jack | A |
| When you cannot discover a cause | H |
| But you go your own little way Jack | A |
| - | |
| With a wag of the tail for a friend | I |
| And in spite of our talk I dare say Jack | A |
| That we don't do much more in the end | I |
