The Scarecrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCDEFGHF| Here is a tale for prelates and for parsons | A |
| There was a scarecrow once a thing of tatters | B |
| And sticks and straw to whom men trusted matters | B |
| Of weighty moment murders thefts and arsons | A |
| None saw he was a scarecrow Every worship | C |
| And honour his Men set him in high places | D |
| And ladies primped their bodies tinged their faces | D |
| And kneeled to him as slaves to some great Sirship | C |
| One night a storm none knew it blew to pieces | D |
| Our jackstraw friend and the sweet air of heaven | E |
| Knew him no more and was no longer tainted | F |
| Then learned doctors put him in their theses | G |
| The State set up his statue and thought even | H |
| As thought the Church perhaps he should be sainted | F |
