The One-legged Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CCDD EEAA| Propped on a stick he viewed the August weald | A |
| Squat orchard trees and oasts with painted cowls | B |
| A homely tangled hedge a corn stooked field | A |
| With sound of barking dogs and farmyard fowls | B |
| - | |
| And he'd come home again to find it more | C |
| Desirable than ever it was before | C |
| How right it seemed that he should reach the span | D |
| Of comfortable years allowed to man | D |
| - | |
| Splendid to eat and sleep and choose a wife | E |
| Safe with his wound a citizen of life | E |
| He hobbled blithely through the garden gate | A |
| And thought Thank God they had to amputate | A |
