Skyline Tommy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLKHMNM OPQP| He loves all games that good men play | A |
| And plays them clean and straight | B |
| But most the chase of foxes | C |
| With all its turns of fate | B |
| When far behind him in the vale | D |
| Strings out our beaten hunt | E |
| With easy grace he keeps his place | F |
| His rightful place in front | E |
| He always seems to lead us | G |
| Whate'er the pace may be | H |
| He's always on the skyline ' | I |
| As some one said to me | H |
| Tis true his horses are the best | J |
| Tis true he steals his start | K |
| But none could hold a line so bold | L |
| Without a gallant heart | K |
| So here's to Skyline Tommy | H |
| The bravest of our guides | M |
| In all the scattered counties | N |
| No finer horseman rides | M |
| Not soon shall we the laggards | O |
| The cheering sight forget | P |
| Of Tommy high against the sky | Q |
| In splendid silhouette | P |
