The Bagpipe Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCCCDDBDDB| Here is a tale for poets and for players | A |
| There was a bagpipe once that wheezed and whistled | B |
| And droned vile discords notes that fairly bristled | B |
| Nasal and harsh outbraying all the brayers | A |
| And then the thing assumed another bearing | C |
| Boasted itself an organ of God's making | C |
| A world enduring instrument Earth shaking | C |
| Greater than any organ more sky daring | C |
| To prove which lo upon an elevation | D |
| It pranced and blew to its own satisfaction | D |
| Until 'twas heard from Key West far as Fundy | B |
| But while it piped some schoolboy took occasion | D |
| There was a blow a sudden sharp impaction | D |
| The wind bag burst Sic transit gloria mundi | B |
