Poor Kitty Popcorn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA CDAA AAEEA AAFFA AAGGA| Did you ever hear the story of the loyal cat Meyow | A |
| Who was faithful to the flag and ever follow'd that Meyow | A |
| Oh she had a happy home beneath a southern sky | B |
| But she pack'd her goods and left it when our troups came nigh | B |
| And she fell into the collumn with a low glad cry Meyow | A |
| - | |
| Poor Kitty Popcorn | C |
| Burried in a snow drift now | D |
| Never more shall ring the music of your charming song Meyow | A |
| Never more shall ring the music of your charming song Meyow | A |
| - | |
| Round her neck she wore a ribbon she was black as jet Meyow | A |
| And at once a gallant claim'd her for a soldier's per Meyow | A |
| All the perils of the battle and the march she bore | E |
| Climbing on her master's shoulder when her feet were sore | E |
| Whisp'ring in his with wonder at the cannon's roar Meyow | A |
| - | |
| Now the cruel war is over and the troups disband Meyow | A |
| Kitty follows as a pilgrim in the northern land Meyow | A |
| Ah but sorrow overtakes her and her master dies | F |
| While she sadly sits a gazing in his dim blue eyes | F |
| Till by strangers driven rudely from the door she cries Meyow | A |
| - | |
| So she wanders on the prairie till she sees his form Meyow | A |
| Carried forth and buried roughly 'mid the driving storm Meyow | A |
| Oh her slender frame it shivers in the northern blast | G |
| As she seeks the sandy mound on which the snow falls fast | G |
| And alone amid the darkness there she breathes her last Meyow | A |
