Tom O'roughley Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEEDFGHGCIIC| 'THOUGH logic choppers rule the town | A |
| And every man and maid and boy | B |
| Has marked a distant object down | A |
| An aimless joy is a pure joy ' | C |
| Or so did Tom O'Roughley say | D |
| That saw the surges running by | E |
| 'And wisdom is a butterfly | E |
| And not a gloomy bird of prey | D |
| 'If little planned is little sinned | F |
| But little need the grave distress | G |
| What's dying but a second wind | H |
| How but in zig zag wantonness | G |
| Could trumpeter Michael be so brave ' | C |
| Or something of that sort he said | I |
| 'And if my dearest friend were dead | I |
| I'd dance a measure on his grave ' | C |
