The Burning Of The Books Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: A BCD EFGHFI J

ams of dull oxen hauled huge cartloads to the bonfiresA
-
Then a banished writer one of the bestB
scanning the list of excommunicated textsC
became enraged he'd been excludedD
-
He rushed to his desk full of contemptuous wrathE
to write fierce letters to the morons in powerF
Burn me he wrote with his blazing penG
Haven't I always reported the truthH
Now here you are treating me like a liarF
Burn meI
