The Woodman And The Money Hunter Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CBCCCB DBDDDB EBEEEB| Throughout our rambles much we find | A |
| The bee trees burst with honey | B |
| Wild birds we tame of every kind | A |
| At once they seem to be resign'd | A |
| I know but one that lags behind | A |
| There's nothing lags but money | B |
| - | |
| The woods afford us much supply | C |
| The opossum coon and coney | B |
| They all are tame and venture nigh | C |
| Regardless of the public eye | C |
| I know but one among them shy | C |
| There's nothing shy but money | B |
| - | |
| And she lies in the bankrupt shade | D |
| The cunning fox is funny | B |
| When thus the public debts are paid | D |
| Deceitful cash is not afraid | D |
| Where funds are hid for private trade | D |
| There's nothing paid but money | B |
| - | |
| Then let us roam the woods along | E |
| And drive the coon and coney | B |
| Our lead is good our powder strong | E |
| To shoot the pigeons as they throng | E |
| But sing no more the idle song | E |
| Nor prowl the chase for money | B |
