Elmer Karr Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGFHI| What but the love of God could have softened | A |
| And made forgiving the people of Spoon River | B |
| Toward me who wronged the bed of Thomas Merritt | C |
| And murdered him beside | D |
| Oh loving hearts that took me in again | E |
| When I returned from fourteen years in prison | F |
| Oh helping hands that in the church received me | G |
| And heard with tears my penitent confession | F |
| Who took the sacrament of bread and wine | H |
| Repent ye living ones and rest with Jesus | I |
