The Pedlar's Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDD EFEFGDD HIHIJDD| I tramped among the townward throng | A |
| A sultry summer's morn | B |
| They mocked me loud they mocked me long | A |
| They laughed my pack to scorn | B |
| But a likely pedlar holds his peace | C |
| Until the reckoning's told | D |
| Merrily I to market went tho' songs were all my gold | D |
| - | |
| At weary noon I left the town | E |
| I left the highway straight | F |
| I climbed the silent sunlit down | E |
| And stood by a castle gate | F |
| Never yet was a house too high | G |
| When the pedlar's heart was bold | D |
| Merrily I to market went tho' songs were all my gold | D |
| - | |
| A lady leaned from her window there | H |
| And asked my wares to see | I |
| Her voice made rich the summer air | H |
| Richer my soul in me | I |
| She gave me only four little words | J |
| Words of a language old | D |
| Merrily I from market came for all my songs were sold | D |
