'out, Out' Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJEKILMNOPQP NRSTUEVEWXTCYZ| The buzz saw snarled and rattled in the yard | A |
| And made dust and dropped stove length sticks of wood | B |
| Sweet scented stuff when the breeze drew across it | C |
| And from there those that lifted eyes could count | D |
| Five mountain ranges one behind the other | E |
| Under the sunset far into Vermont | F |
| And the saw snarled and rattled snarled and rattled | G |
| As it ran light or had to bear a load | H |
| And nothing happened day was all but done | I |
| Call it a day I wish they might have said | J |
| To please the boy by giving him the half hour | E |
| That a boy counts so much when saved from work | K |
| His sister stood beside them in her apron | I |
| To tell them Supper At the word the saw | L |
| As if to prove saws knew what supper meant | M |
| Leaped out at the boy's hand or seemed to leap | N |
| He must have given the hand However it was | O |
| Neither refused the meeting But the hand | P |
| The boy's first outcry was a rueful laugh | Q |
| As he swung toward them holding up the hand | P |
| Half in appeal but half as if to keep | N |
| The life from spilling Then the boy saw all | R |
| Since he was old enough to know big boy | S |
| Doing a man's work though a child at heart | T |
| He saw all spoiled Don't let him cut my hand off | U |
| The doctor when he comes Don't let him sister | E |
| So But the hand was gone already | V |
| The doctor put him in the dark of ether | E |
| He lay and puffed his lips out with his breath | W |
| And then the watcher at his pulse took fright | X |
| No one believed They listened at his heart | T |
| Little less nothing and that ended it | C |
| No more to build on there And they since they | Y |
| Were not the one dead turned to their affairs | Z |
