The Dam Below The Mill. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDD EEFFDD GHIIDD| The Springtime am a comin' and the dogwood soon will bloom | A |
| With the blossoms ten times thicker than the green leaves are in June | B |
| And if yer want some pleasure that I nominate divine | C |
| Just git yer minnow bucket and yer hook and pole and line | C |
| And slip away some mornin' when the weather's bright and still | D |
| And hang a four pound jumper at the dam below the mill | D |
| - | |
| There are lots of other pleasures in the old world here below | E |
| And a mighty heap of happiness a feller 'll never know | E |
| But never mind about 'em just yer slip away and feel | F |
| That something so delectable that over yer will steal | F |
| For it sets the pulses beatin' with a magic kind of thrill | D |
| When yer hang a four pound jumper at the dam below the mill | D |
| - | |
| When yer 'gin to take the fever and yer feel it comin' on | G |
| Why yer boun' ter go a fishin' just as shore as yer born | H |
| Then ye'd better git yer trapping's in the proper kind o' fix | I |
| And go and hear the music when yer reel a spinnin' clicks | I |
| For he rushes through the water at a pace that's fit ter kill | D |
| When yer hang a four pound jumper at the dam below the mill | D |
