The Fiddler Of Dooney Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD AEFE GCHC BIJI BB B

When I play on my fiddle in DooneyA
Folk dance like a wave of the seaB
My cousin is priest in KilvarnetC
My brother in MocharabuieeD
-
I passed my brother and cousinA
They read in their books of prayerE
I read in my book of songsF
I bought at the Sligo fairE
-
When we come at the end of timeG
To Peter sitting in stateC
He will smile on the three old spiritsH
But call me first through the gateC
-
For the good are always the merryB
Save by an evil chanceI
And the merry love the fiddleJ
And the merry love to danceI
-
And when the folk there spy meB
They will all come up to meB
With 'Here is the fiddler of Dooney '-
And dance like a wave of the seaB

William Butler Yeats
