I Will Go With My Father a-Ploughing by Joseph Campbell
‘I Will Go With My Father a-Ploughing’ by Joseph Campbell is a three-stanza poem that is divided into sets of eight lines, or octaves. Each of these octaves follows a consistent rhyming pattern. There are differences between the lines, but the meter and word choice help create a uniformity that brings significant cohesion to the poem.
The stanzas generally follow the pattern of abcbdefe. The second and fourth lines rhyme, and the sixth and eighth lines rhyme; this stands true throughout each strophe. Additionally, the poet has chosen to follow a wording pattern that will become clear in the second stanza. He repeats similar phrases three times, and even ends the second line and fourth line of each stanza with the same words.
