Clarence Fawcett Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLHAMNHFHO| The sudden death of Eugene Carman | A |
| Put me in line to be promoted to fifty dollars a month | B |
| And I told my wife and children that night | C |
| But it didn't come and so I thought | D |
| Old Rhodes suspected me of stealing | E |
| The blankets I took and sold on the side | F |
| For money to pay a doctor's bill for my little girl | G |
| Then like a bolt old Rhodes accused me | H |
| And promised me mercy for my family's sake | I |
| If I confessed and so I confessed | J |
| And begged him to keep it out of the papers | K |
| And I asked the editors too | L |
| That night at home the constable took me | H |
| And every paper except the Clarion | A |
| Wrote me up as a thief | M |
| Because old Rhodes was an advertiser | N |
| And wanted to make an example of me | H |
| Oh well you know how the children cried | F |
| And how my wife pitied and hated me | H |
| And how I came to lie here | O |
