Kail Yard Bard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EAFAEA GHIHIHA very humble pen I ply | A |
Beneath a cottage thatch | B |
And in the sunny hours I try | A |
To till my cabbage patch | B |
And in the gloaming glad am I | A |
To lift the latch | B |
- | |
I do not plot to pile up pelf | C |
With jowl and belly fat | D |
To simple song I give myself | C |
And seek no gain at that | D |
Content if milk is on the shelf | C |
To feed the cat | D |
- | |
I joy that haleness I possess | E |
Though fame has passed me by | A |
And see such gold of happiness | F |
A shining in the sky | A |
I wonder who has won success | E |
Proud men or I | A |
- | |
I do not grieve that I am poor | G |
And by the world unknown | H |
Free as the wind serene and sure | I |
In peace I live alone | H |
'Tis better to be bard obscure | I |
Than King on Throne | H |
