Cows Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABA CCDAAD EEFDDF GGDHHD| I love to watch my seven cows | A |
| In meads of buttercups abrowse | A |
| With guilded knees | A |
| But even more I love to see | A |
| Them chew the cud so tranquilly | B |
| In twilight ease | A |
| - | |
| Each is the image of content | C |
| From fragrant hours in clover spent | C |
| 'Mid leaf and bud | D |
| As up and down without a pause | A |
| Mechanically move their jaws | A |
| To chew the cud | D |
| - | |
| Friend there's a hope for me and you | E |
| Let us resolve to chew and chew | E |
| With molars strong | F |
| The man who learns to masticate | D |
| With patience may control his fate | D |
| His life prolong | F |
| - | |
| In salivation is salvation | G |
| So if some silly little nation | G |
| Should bathe in blood | D |
| Let's take a lesson from the cow | H |
| And learn in life's long gloaming how | H |
| To chew the cud | D |
