Scrubber Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGHFH| She's tall and gaunt and in her hard sad face | A |
| With flashes of the old fun's animation | B |
| There lowers the fixed and peevish resignation | B |
| Bred of a past where troubles came apace | A |
| She tells me that her husband ere he died | C |
| Saw seven of their children pass away | D |
| And never knew the little lass at play | D |
| Out on the green in whom he's deified | C |
| Her kin dispersed her friends forgot and gone | E |
| All simple faith her honest Irish mind | F |
| Scolding her spoiled young saint she labours on | G |
| Telling her dreams taking her patients' part | H |
| Trailing her coat sometimes and you shall find | F |
| No rougher quainter speech nor kinder heart | H |
