Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGDGHICIHJKJ CLALEven the shrewd and bitter | A |
Gnarled by the old world's greed | B |
Cherished the stranger softly | C |
Seeing his utter need | B |
Shelter and patient hearing | D |
These were their gifts to him | E |
To the minstrel grimly begging | D |
As the sunset fire grew dim | E |
The rich said You are welcome | F |
Yea even the rich were good | G |
How strange that in their feasting | D |
His songs were understood | G |
The doors of the poor were open | H |
The poor who had wandered too | I |
Who had slept with ne'er a roof tree | C |
Under the wind and dew | I |
The minds of the poor were open | H |
Their dark mistrust was dead | J |
They loved his wizard stories | K |
They bought his rhymes with bread | J |
Those were his days of glory | C |
Of faith in his fellow men | L |
Therefore to day the singer | A |
Turns beggar once again | L |
