On An Ill-managed House Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFLet me thy properties explain | A |
A rotten cabin dropping rain | A |
Chimneys with scorn rejecting smoke | B |
Stools tables chairs and bedsteads broke | B |
Here elements have lost their uses | C |
Air ripens not nor earth produces | C |
In vain we make poor Sheelah toil | D |
Fire will not roast nor water boil | D |
Through all the valleys hills and plains | E |
The Goddess Want in triumph reigns | E |
And her chief officers of state | F |
Sloth Dirt and Theft around her wait | F |
