When I Was A Tall Lad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFFF| WHEN I was a tall lad with money in my hand | A |
| I'd pots and pans a plenty and friends about the land | A |
| I'd golden roads in sunshine and silver roads in rain | B |
| And a little gray donkey and a girl out of Spain | B |
| - | |
| Now I am an old man with rings in my ears | C |
| All too sad for laughter all too wise for tears | D |
| And the Spanish girl has left me and the money's coming slow | E |
| And the little gray donkey he was lamed long ago | E |
| - | |
| When I get to heaven where tinkers may be seen | F |
| I'll wear a yellow kerchief and a coat of velveteen | F |
| And out beyond the shining streets I'll take the road again | F |
| With a little gray donkey and a girl out of Spain | F |
