A Son Was Born To A Poor Peasant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DECF DGHI FJKL| A son was born to a poor peasant | A |
| A foul old woman stepped inside | B |
| The hut with trembling bony fingers | C |
| Clawing her tangled locks aside | B |
| - | |
| And when the midwife wasn't looking | D |
| Across towards that babe she reached | E |
| And with her gnarled misshapen fingers | C |
| His cheek she very lightly touched | F |
| - | |
| Mumbling weird words and slowly tapping | D |
| Her crooked stick she went away | G |
| Nobody knew what charm she'd woven | H |
| And so the years went duly by | I |
| - | |
| The secret spell came to fulfilment | F |
| In life much sorrow came to him | J |
| But happiness and joy and true love | K |
| Fled the dark sign upon the skin | L |
