Only A Tramp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDABEB FFGGHHB IBJJKLMMFFB| Only a tramp by the roadside dead | A |
| Only a tramp who cares | B |
| His feet are bare his dull eyes stare | C |
| And the wind plays freaks with his unkempt hair | C |
| The sun rose up and the sun went down | D |
| But nobody missed him from the town | D |
| Where he begged for bread 'till the day he was dead | A |
| He's only a tramp who cares | B |
| Only a tramp a nuisance gone | E |
| One more tramp less who cares | B |
| - | |
| Ghastly and gray in the lane all day | F |
| A soiled dead heap of human clay | F |
| Would the wasted crumbs in the rich man's hall | G |
| Where the gas lights gleam and the curtains fall | G |
| Have given him a longer lease of breath | H |
| Have saved the wretch from starving to death | H |
| He's only a tramp who cares | B |
| - | |
| Only a tramp was he ever more | I |
| Than a beggar tramp Who cares | B |
| Was the hard lined face ever dimpled and sweet | J |
| Has a mother kissed those rough brown feet | J |
| And thought their tramping a sweeter strain | K |
| Than ever will waken his ear again | L |
| Does somebody kneel 'way over the sea | M |
| Praying Father bring back my boy to me | M |
| Does somebody watch and weep and pray | F |
| For the tramp who lies dead in the lane to day | F |
| He's only a tramp who cares | B |
