"There was none could PLACE the stranger's FACE..."
"From a fireside FAR from the cares that ARE.."
"In a buckskin SHIRT tht was glazed with DIRT
he sat, and I saw him sway;
"Then his lips went IN in a kind of GRIN..."
His meter includes dactyls, maybe to enable his multiple uses of the talker's word, "And the..."
"AND THE stranger TURNED, AND his eyes they BURNED... (this line just before "buckskin shirt,"
above. Or also the talker's words, "But I...,"
"BUT I want to STATE, and my words are STRAIGHT,
AND I'll bet my poke they're true."
Service's verse (say those two words ten times fast, or add, "versus...") depends upon the monosyllable (as do many of Shakespeare's sonnets' first lines!) though RWS's are Americanisms, like "pinch" (to steal) and "poke" (wallet) essential for the concluding line,
"The woman that kissed him and--pinched his poke--
was the Lady that's known as Lou." ( )
