Who can summarize the poem the dying cowboy?

So basically to help you out im gonna summarize each stanza by stanza.Before i start the summary I would just like to put up the poem here for your reference:1)As I rode out by Tom Sherman's bar-room,As I rode out so early one day,'Twas there I espied a handsome young cowboy,All dressed in white linen, all clothed for the grave.2)'I see by your outfit that you are a cowboy,'These words he did say as I boldly stepped by,'Come sit down beside me and hear my sad story,For I'm shot in the breast and I know I must die.3)'Then beat your drum slowly and play your fife lowly,And play the dead march as you carry me along,And take me to the graveyard and throw the sod o'er me,For i'm a young cowboy and I know I've done wrong.4)''Twas once in the saddle I used to go dashing,'Twas once in the saddle I used to go gay,But I first took to drinking and then to card-playing,Got shot in the body and I'm dying today.5)'Let sixteen gamblers come handle my coffin,Let sixteen young cowboys come sing me a song,Take me to the green valley and lay a sod o'er me,For I'm a poor cowboy and I know I've done wrong.6)'Go bring me back a cup of cool waterTo cool my parched lips,' this cowboy then said.Before I returned, his soul had departedAnd gone to his Maker - the cowboy lay dead.7)We swung our ropes slowly and rattled our spurs lowly,And gave a wild whoop as we carried him on,For we all loved our comrade, so brave, young and handsome,We all loved our comrade, although he'd done wrong.1) the narrator is basically stepping out of a barroom when he spots a cowboy in white on the floor, wearing clothes and ready for the grave (to die)2)Now the cowboy on the floor is telling the man " I know you are a cowboy too, come sit beside me and and hear my sad story because i am to die since im shot in the breast.3)Now the cowboy on the floor is giving the listener instructions: Saying, " Beat the drum of my death march slowly and play the fife (small high-pitched flute) as you carry me to my grave, Put me inside the grave and throw the sand over me because im young cowboy and I know i have done wrong.4)Now the cowboy starts to talk about his past and his joy days sayingOnce i used to go dashing in the saddleOnce in the saddle i used to go gay (happy)But i started drinking and playing cardsgot shot in the body and now i must die5)Again, the cowboy is now giving instruction on how to handle him after death and here are the instructions as follows:Let sixteen gamblers come handle my coffinLet sixteen cowboys come handle my coffinTake me to the green valley and lay the sod ( sand) over meBecause im a young cowboy and i know i m must die.6) Now the cowboy sends the listener away to bring a cup of water for him for his parched (dry) lips but before the listener returns the cowboy is dead.7) In the last stanza of this poem, the listener just talks about how they carried the cowboy to physical death.Basic Summary- The cowboy who is dying ( duh that's why its called "The Dying cowboy") is speaking to another cowboy about his lifetime and passes away right there.Refrain ( repeated words or phrases in this poem )- "I know i have done wrong"
