Five Eyes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCCDDEEFGF| In Hans' old Mill his three black cats | A |
| Watch the bins for the thieving rats | A |
| Whisker and claw they crouch in the night | B |
| Their five eyes smouldering green and bright | B |
| Squeaks from the flour sacks squeaks from where | C |
| The cold wind stirs on the empty stair | C |
| Squeaking and scampering everywhere | C |
| Then down they pounce now in now out | D |
| At whisking tail and sniffing snout | D |
| While lean old Hans he snores away | E |
| Till peep of light at break of day | E |
| Then up he climbs to his creaking mill | F |
| Out come his cats all grey with meal | G |
| Jekkel and Jessup and one eyed Jill | F |
