Tommy Smith Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD HIHIJDKD| When summer's languor drugs my veins | A |
| And fills with sleep the droning times | B |
| Like sluggish dreams among my brains | A |
| There runs the drollest sort of rhymes | B |
| Idle as clouds that stray through heaven | C |
| And vague as if they were a myth | D |
| But in these rhymes is always given | C |
| A health for old Bluebritches Smith | D |
| - | |
| Among my thoughts of what is good | E |
| In olden times and distant lands | F |
| Is that do nothing neighborhood | E |
| Where the old cider hogshead stands | F |
| To welcome with its brimming gourd | G |
| The canny crowd of kin and kith | D |
| Who meet about the bibulous board | G |
| Of old Bluebritches Tommy Smith | D |
| - | |
| In years to come when stealthy change | H |
| Hath stolen the cider press away | I |
| And the gnarled orchards of the grange | H |
| Have fallen before a slow decay | I |
| Were I so cunning I would carve | J |
| From some time scorning monolith | D |
| A sculpture that should well preserve | K |
| The fame of old Bluebritches Smith | D |
