The Beggar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGGOf late I saw him on his staff reclined | A |
Bow'd down beneath a weary weight of woes | B |
Without a roof to shelter from the wind | A |
His head all hoar with many a winter's snows | B |
All trembling he approach'd he strove to speak | C |
The voice of misery scarce my ear assail'd | D |
A flood of sorrow swept his furrow'd cheek | C |
Remembrance check'd him and his utt'rance fail'd | D |
For he had known full many a better day | E |
And when the poor man at his threshold bent | F |
He drove him not with aching heart away | E |
But freely shared what Providence had sent | F |
How hard for him the stranger's boon to crave | G |
And live to want the mite his bounty gave | G |
