The Man To Follow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBDEDECCEFGFGCC GHIHICCIJKJKCCK

Apart from the crowd with its banter and mirthA
Sitting loose on his mare with an eye to the whinsB
He has looked to his curb he has tightened his girthA
He has marked out a place where the big double thinsB
Here's a good one to followC
To follow to followC
A good one to follow when business beginsB
'Mid the murmur of meeting the laugh and the jokeD
'Mid the trampling of horses the cheer and the rateE
He has caught the low whimper when Challenger spokeD
And has seen the raised hat of the man by the gateE
He's the right one to followC
To follow to followC
The right one to follow and trust with your fateE
When they tumble from covert each hound giving tongueF
When they carry it confident over the ploughG
When the hurrying Field down the headland is strungF
Here's the man for your money You follow him nowG
He's the right one to followC
To follow to followC
So bundle and after him Never mind howG
Ere the gay coffee housers are into their strideH
He is over the hedge with a trifle to spareI
And down in his saddle and ready to rideH
For whoever may miss it he means to be thereI
This right one to followC
To follow to followC
This lean lashing lad on the bonny blood mareI
If you're riding a horse that can gallop and jumpJ
That can creep through a cat hole or spread at a ditchK
If you don't mind a thorn scratch a bruise or a bumpJ
A drain or a double and Devil care whichK
Here's the right one to followC
To follow to followC
The man that's a wizard the mare that's a witchK
