Garadh Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEFE DGHG IDJD| FOR the poor body that I own | A |
| I could weep many a tear | B |
| The days have stolen flesh and bone | A |
| And left a changeling here | C |
| - | |
| Four feeble bones are left to me | D |
| And the basket of my breast | E |
| And I am mean and ugly now | F |
| As the scald flung from the nest | E |
| - | |
| The briars drag me at the knee | D |
| The brambles go within | G |
| And often do I feel him turn | H |
| The old man in my skin | G |
| - | |
| The strength is carded from my bones | I |
| The swiftness drained from me | D |
| And all the living thoughts I had | J |
| Are like far ships at sea | D |
