Wife Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DD EE FGF| My husband is idle is dumb and spends money | A |
| He either stands still at the window or runs about town like a bunny | A |
| - | |
| He stares and he stares at a tram at the sky | B |
| He mutters he whistles he rummages over the house like an amateur spy | B |
| - | |
| And then he reads books he turns their pages at least | C |
| There are books in the kitchen and cellar folios mixed with the yeast | C |
| - | |
| But what is he thinking about what does my husband mumble | D |
| When he tries to speak he gets nervous piles of words flurry and tumble | D |
| - | |
| In the evening he drinks and I feel angry enough | E |
| When I see his dear eyes getting misted up with that stuff | E |
| - | |
| His eyes are misted He takes one more dram | F |
| He kneels down beside me and lays his head on my arm | G |
| It is only then that I learn for the first time who I am | F |
