Kail Yard Bard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDCD EAFAEA GHIHIH| A 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 |
