The Vanishing Red Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJIKL MNOPQR KSTUIVCWXYHe is said to have been the last Red man | A |
In Acton And the Miller is said to have laughed | B |
If you like to call such a sound a laugh | C |
But he gave no one else a laugher's license | D |
For he turned suddenly grave as if to say | E |
Whose business if I take it on myself | F |
Whose business but why talk round the barn | G |
When it's just that I hold with getting a thing done with | H |
You can't get back and see it as he saw it | I |
It's too long a story to go into now | J |
You'd have to have been there and lived it | I |
They you wouldn't have looked on it as just a matter | K |
Of who began it between the two races | L |
- | |
Some guttural exclamation of surprise | M |
The Red man gave in poking about the mill | N |
Over the great big thumping shuffling millstone | O |
Disgusted the Miller physically as coming | P |
From one who had no right to be heard from | Q |
Come John he said you want to see the wheel pint | R |
- | |
He took him down below a cramping rafter | K |
And showed him through a manhole in the floor | S |
The water in desperate straits like frantic fish | T |
Salmon and sturgeon lashing with their tails | U |
The he shut down the trap door with a ring in it | I |
That jangled even above the general noise | V |
And came upstairs alone and gave that laugh | C |
And said something to a man with a meal sack | W |
That the man with the meal sack didn't catch then | X |
Oh yes he showed John the wheel pit all right | Y |
