Disappointed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDD EFEFGG HEHEIJ| An old man planted and dug and tended | A |
| Toiling in joy from dew to dew | B |
| The sun was kind and the rain befriended | C |
| Fine grew his orchard and fair to view | B |
| Then he said I will quiet my thrifty fears | D |
| For here is fruit for my failing years | D |
| - | |
| But even then the storm clouds gathered | E |
| Swallowing up the azure sky | F |
| The sweeping winds into white foam lathered | E |
| The placid breast of the bay hard by | F |
| Then the spirits that raged in the darkened air | G |
| Swept o'er his orchard and left it bare | G |
| - | |
| The old man stood in the rain uncaring | H |
| Viewing the place the storm had swept | E |
| And then with a cry from his soul despairing | H |
| He bowed him down to the earth and wept | E |
| But a voice cried aloud from the driving rain | I |
| Arise old man and plant again | J |
