The Beggar Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| Of 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 |
