The Bright Side Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB AEFECE GHIHJH KLMLIL NOPOQO RSTSUS QVGVWV AXYXZX| Oh one gets used to everything | A |
| I hum a merry song | B |
| And up the street and round the square | C |
| I wheel my chair along | B |
| For look you how my chest is sound | D |
| And how my arms are strong | B |
| - | |
| Oh one gets used to anything | A |
| It's awkward at the first | E |
| And jolting o'er the cobbles gives | F |
| A man a grievous thirst | E |
| But of all ills that one must bear | C |
| That's surely not the worst | E |
| - | |
| For there's the cafe open wide | G |
| And there they set me up | H |
| And there I smoke my caporal | I |
| Above my cider cup | H |
| And play manille a while before | J |
| I hurry home to sup | H |
| - | |
| At home the wife is waiting me | K |
| With smiles and pigeon pie | L |
| And little Zi Zi claps her hands | M |
| With laughter loud and high | L |
| And if there's cause to growl I fail | I |
| To see the reason why | L |
| - | |
| And all the evening by the lamp | N |
| I read some tale of crime | O |
| Or play my old accordion | P |
| With Marie keeping time | O |
| Until we hear the hour of ten | Q |
| From out the steeple chime | O |
| - | |
| Then in the morning bright and soon | R |
| No moment do I lose | S |
| Within my little cobbler's shop | T |
| To gain the silver sous | S |
| Good luck one has no need of legs | U |
| To make a pair of shoes | S |
| - | |
| And every Sunday oh it's then | Q |
| I am the happy man | V |
| They wheel me to the river side | G |
| And there with rod and can | V |
| I sit and fish and catch a dish | W |
| Of goujons for the pan | V |
| - | |
| Aye one gets used to everything | A |
| And doesn't seem to mind | X |
| Maybe I'm happier than most | Y |
| Of my two legged kind | X |
| For look you at the darkest cloud | Z |
| Lo how it's silver lined | X |
