Treasure Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDECFFFFFGHere is a tale for infants and old nurses | A |
There was a man who gathered rags and peddled | B |
Who lived alone with no one ever meddled | B |
And this old man was very fond of verses | A |
His house a ruin so the tale rehearses | C |
A hovel over run of rats and vermin | D |
Not fit for beast to live in Like a sermon | E |
Embodying misery and hell and curses | C |
There one grey dawn of rain and windy weather | F |
They found him dead starved o'er a written paper | F |
Beside a dim and half expiring taper | F |
It was a play the poor fool'd put together | F |
Of gnomes and fairies for his own sad pleasure | F |
And folks destroyed it saying 'We seek for treasure ' | G |
