What The Ghost Of The Gambler Said Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJCKC| Where now the huts are empty | A |
| Where never a camp fire glows | B |
| In an abandoned canyon | C |
| A Gambler's Ghost arose | B |
| He muttered there The moon's a sack | D |
| Of dust His voice rose thin | E |
| I wish I knew the miner man | F |
| I'd play and play to win | E |
| In every game in Cripple creek | G |
| Of old when stakes were high | H |
| I held my own Now I would play | I |
| For that sack in the sky | H |
| The sport would not be ended there | J |
| 'Twould rather be begun | C |
| I'd bet my moon against his stars | K |
| And gamble for the sun | C |
