Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIIJK LJMNOKPQStrange bird | A |
His song remains secret | B |
He worked too hard to read books | C |
He never heard how Sherwood Anderson | D |
Got out of it and fled to Chicago furious to free himself | E |
From his hatred of factories | F |
My father toiled fifty years | G |
At Hazel Atlas Glass | H |
Caught among girders that smash the kneecaps | I |
Of dumb honyaks | I |
Did he shudder with hatred in the cold shadow of grease | I |
Maybe But my brother and I do know | J |
He came home as quiet as the evening | K |
- | |
- | |
He will be getting dark soon | L |
And loom through new snow | J |
I know his ghost will drift home | M |
To the Ohio River and sit down alone | N |
Whittling a root | O |
He will say nothing | K |
The waters flow past older younger | P |
Than he is or I am | Q |
