The Village Miser Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| The dogs made way for him and snarled and ran | A |
| And little children to their parents clung | B |
| Big eyed with fear when gruff of look and tongue | B |
| Bent backed he passed who had the village ban | A |
| In old drab coat and trousers shoes of tan | A |
| And scarecrow hat from some odd fashion sprung | B |
| A threadbare cloak about his shoulders flung | B |
| Grasping a crooked stick limped by this man | A |
| Unspeaking and unspoken to but oft | C |
| Cursed after for a miser as he passed | D |
| Or barked at by the dogs who feared his cane | E |
| One day they found him dead killed in his loft | C |
| Among his books the hoard which he had massed | D |
| And then they laughed and swore he was insane | E |
