Gangrene Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBCD BEBEF BCBCBGG| So often in the mid of night | A |
| I wake me in my bed | B |
| With utter panic of affright | B |
| To find my feet are dead | B |
| And pace the floor to easy my pain | C |
| And make them live again | D |
| - | |
| The folks at home are so discreet | B |
| They see me walk and walk | E |
| To keep the blood flow in my feet | B |
| And though they never talk | E |
| I've heard them whisper 'Mother may | F |
| Have them cut off some day ' | - |
| - | |
| Cut off my feet I'd rather die | B |
| And yet the years of pain | C |
| When in the darkness I will lie | B |
| And pray to God in vain | C |
| Thinking in agony Oh why | B |
| Can doctors not annul our breath | G |
| In honourable death | G |
