Rover's Rest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHGHIJIJ KLKLMNON| By parents I would not be pinned | A |
| Nor in my home abide | B |
| For I was wanton as the wind | C |
| And tameless as the tide | B |
| So scornful of domestic hearth | D |
| And bordered garden path | E |
| I sought the wilder ways of earth | F |
| The roads of wrath | E |
| - | |
| It scares me now to think of how | G |
| Foolhardily I fared | H |
| Though mighty scarred of pelt and pow | G |
| A dozen deaths I've dared | H |
| Yet there are trails I would explore | I |
| And wilds that for me wait | J |
| Alas I'll wander nevermore | I |
| The hour's too late | J |
| - | |
| The folks are at my picture show | K |
| I smoke my pipe and sigh | L |
| Soft slippered by the ember's glow | K |
| A baby sitter I | L |
| Behold In dressing gown of mauve | M |
| To comfort reconciled | N |
| A rover rocks the cradle of | O |
| His new grand child | N |
