The Fiddler Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC DEDE FAFG| The fiddler knows what's brewing | A |
| To the lilt of his lyric wiles | B |
| The fiddler knows what rueing | A |
| Will come of this night's smiles | B |
| - | |
| He sees couples join them for dancing | A |
| And afterwards joining for life | C |
| He sees them pay high for their prancing | A |
| By a welter of wedded strife | C |
| - | |
| He twangs Music hails from the devil | D |
| Though vaunted to come from heaven | E |
| For it makes people do at a revel | D |
| What multiplies sins by seven | E |
| - | |
| There's many a heart now mangled | F |
| And waiting its time to go | A |
| Whose tendrils were first entangled | F |
| By my sweet viol and bow | G |
