The Incorrigible Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEAE DFAGHIAI JKIKLMAM NODOPDND

The bad boy of EuropeA
He stands in dire disgraceB
Crying too loud his innocenceC
While guilt grins from his faceB
The gangster and the racketeerD
Earth's honest folk disownE
And the bad boy of EuropeA
He walks his way aloneE
-
In cynical dishonourD
The world is not yet lostF
As the dull boy of EuropeA
Discovers to his costG
Something is let to decencyH
And something of fair playI
As the shameless boy of EuropeA
Learns to his vague dismayI
-
Tho' nations yet be governedJ
By chiefs too worldly wiseK
There runs an unclean pathwayI
From which men turn their eyesK
Defined by laws unwrittenL
There yet remains The CodeM
But the bad boy of EuropeA
Treads the forbidden roadM
-
Never 'mid Christian nationsN
Shall might be counted rightO
And murder stays foul murderD
Ever in just men's sightO
The wide world shall disown themP
Who own that guilt stained crewD
Whose acts belie their mouthingsN
Whose mouthings ring untrueD
