The Wood Fire (a Fragment) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACAC DEDEDE FGFHFI| This is a brightsome blaze you've lit good friend to night | A |
| Aye it has been the bleakest spring I have felt for years | B |
| And nought compares with cloven logs to keep alight | A |
| I buy them bargain cheap of the executioners | C |
| As I dwell near and they wanted the crosses out of sight | A |
| By Passover not to affront the eyes of visitors | C |
| - | |
| Yes they're from the crucifixions last week ending | D |
| At Kranion We can sometimes use the poles again | E |
| But they get split by the nails and 'tis quicker work than mending | D |
| To knock together new though the uprights now and then | E |
| Serve twice when they're let stand But if a feast's impending | D |
| As lately you've to tidy up for the corners' ken | E |
| - | |
| Though only three were impaled you may know it didn't pass off | F |
| So quietly as was wont That Galilee carpenter's son | G |
| Who boasted he was king incensed the rabble to scoff | F |
| I heard the noise from my garden This piece is the one he was on | H |
| Yes it blazes up well if lit with a few dry chips and shroff | F |
| And it's worthless for much else what with cuts and stains thereon | I |
