Lawstudent And Coach Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIJKDLDGMNM OJGPGQRQSTUTVWXWYIZJEach day I sit in an ill lighted room | A |
To teach a boy | B |
For one hour by the clock great words and dreams | C |
Are our employ | B |
We read St Agnes' Eve and that more fair | D |
Eve of St Mark | E |
At a small table up against the wall | F |
In the half dark | E |
I tell him all the wise things I have read | G |
Concerning Keats | H |
'His earlier work is overfull of sense | I |
And sensual sweets ' | J |
I tell him all that comes into my mind | K |
From God knows where | D |
Remark 'In English poets Bertha's type | L |
Is jolly rare | D |
She's a real girl that strains her eyes to read | G |
And cricks her neck | M |
Now Madeline could pray all night nor feel | N |
Her body's check | M |
And Bertha reads p'rhaps the first reading girl | O |
In English rhyme ' | J |
It's maddening work to say what Keats has said | G |
A second time | P |
The boy sits sideways with averted head | G |
His brown cheek glows | Q |
I like his black eyes and his sprawling limbs | R |
And his short nose | Q |
He feeling dreads the splendour of the verse | S |
But he must learn | T |
To write about it neatly and to quote | U |
These lines that burn | T |
He drapes his soul in my obscuring words | V |
Makes himself fit | W |
To go into a sunny world and take | X |
His part in it | W |
'Examiners' point of view you know ' say I | Y |
'Is commonsense | I |
You must sift poetry before you can | Z |
Sift Evidence ' | J |
