Youth Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIIJK LJMNOKPQ

Strange birdA
His song remains secretB
He worked too hard to read booksC
He never heard how Sherwood AndersonD
Got out of it and fled to Chicago furious to free himselfE
From his hatred of factoriesF
My father toiled fifty yearsG
At Hazel Atlas GlassH
Caught among girders that smash the kneecapsI
Of dumb honyaksI
Did he shudder with hatred in the cold shadow of greaseI
Maybe But my brother and I do knowJ
He came home as quiet as the eveningK
-
-
He will be getting dark soonL
And loom through new snowJ
I know his ghost will drift homeM
To the Ohio River and sit down aloneN
Whittling a rootO
He will say nothingK
The waters flow past older youngerP
Than he is or I amQ
