The Gargoyle Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGG| The Gargoyle often makes its perch | A |
| On a cathedral or a church | A |
| Where mid ecclesiastic style | B |
| It smiles an early Gothic smile | B |
| And while the parson dignified | C |
| Spouts at his weary flock inside | C |
| The Gargoyle from its lofty seat | D |
| Spouts at the people in the street | D |
| And like the parson seems to say | E |
| To those beneath him Let us spray | E |
| I like the Gargoyle best it plays | F |
| So cheerfully on rainy days | F |
| While parsons no one can deny | G |
| Are awful dampers when they're dry | G |
