My Hundred Books Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDED FGFGHIHI JKJKLILIA thousand books my library | A |
Contains | B |
And all are primed it seems to me | A |
With brains | B |
Mine are so few I scratch in thought | C |
My head | D |
For just a hundred of the lot | E |
I've read | D |
- | |
A hundred books but of the best | F |
I can | G |
With wisdom savour and digest | F |
And scan | G |
Yet when afar from kin and kith | H |
In nooks | I |
Of quietness I'm happy with | H |
Sweet books | I |
- | |
So as nine hundred at me stare | J |
In vain | K |
My lack I'm wistfully aware | J |
Of brain | K |
Yet as my leave of living ends | L |
With looks | I |
Of love I view a hundred friends | L |
My books | I |
