Carl Hamblin Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEGGFHEIGJKLMNO PEQM| The press of the Spoon River Clarion was wrecked | A |
| And I was tarred and feathered | B |
| For publishing this on the day the Anarchists were hanged in Chicago | C |
| I saw a beautiful woman with bandaged eyes | D |
| Standing on the steps of a marble temple | E |
| Great multitudes passed in front of her | F |
| Lifting their faces to her imploringly | E |
| In her left hand she held a sword | G |
| She was brandishing the sword | G |
| Sometimes striking a child again a laborer | F |
| Again a slinking woman again a lunatic | H |
| In her right hand she held a scale | E |
| Into the scale pieces of gold were tossed | I |
| By those who dodged the strokes of the sword | G |
| A man in a black gown read from a manuscript | J |
| 'She is no respecter of persons ' | K |
| Then a youth wearing a red cap | L |
| Leaped to her side and snatched away the bandage | M |
| And lo the lashes had been eaten away | N |
| From the oozy eye lids | O |
| The eye balls were seared with a milky mucus | P |
| The madness of a dying soul | E |
| Was written on her face | Q |
| But the multitude saw why she wore the bandage | M |
