The New Husbandman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI| Brother that ploughs the furrow I late ploughed | A |
| God give thee grace and fruitful harvesting | B |
| Tis fair sweet earth be it under sun or cloud | A |
| And all about it ever the birds sing | B |
| - | |
| Yet do I pray your seed fares not as mine | C |
| That sowed there stars along with good white grain | D |
| But reaped thereof be better fortune thine | C |
| Nettles and bitter herbs for all my gain | D |
| - | |
| Inclement seasons and black winds perchance | E |
| Poisoned and soured the fragrant fecund soil | F |
| Till I sowed poppies 'gainst remembrance | G |
| And took to other furrows my laughing toil | F |
| - | |
| And other men as I that ploughed before | H |
| Shall watch thy harvest trusting thou mayst reap | I |
| Where we have sown and on your threshing floor | H |
| Have honest grain within thy barns to keep | I |
