Jesse Covington Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHEHE IJIJKEKE| If I have had some merry times | A |
| In roaming up and down the earth | B |
| Have made some happy hearted rhymes | A |
| And had my brimming share of mirth | B |
| And if this song should live in fame | C |
| When my brief day is dead and gone | D |
| Let it recall with mine the name | C |
| Of old man Jesse Covington | E |
| - | |
| Let it recall his waggish heart | F |
| Yeke hey yeke hey hey diddle diddle | G |
| When while the fire logs fell apart | F |
| He snatched the bow across his fiddle | G |
| And looked on with his eyes half shut | H |
| Which meant his soul was wild with fun | E |
| At our mad capers through the hut | H |
| Of old man Jesse Covington | E |
| - | |
| For all the thrilling tales he told | I |
| For all the tunes the fiddle knew | J |
| For all the glorious nights of old | I |
| We boys and he have rollicked through | J |
| For laughter all unknown to wealth | K |
| That roared responsive to a pun | E |
| A hale ripe age and ruddy health | K |
| To old man Jesse Covington | E |
