Ezra Bartlett Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDBEFAEBGHICFJ| A chaplain in the army | A |
| A chaplain in the prisons | B |
| An exhorter in Spoon River | C |
| Drunk with divinity Spoon River | C |
| Yet bringing poor Eliza Johnson to shame | D |
| And myself to scorn and wretchedness | B |
| But why will you never see that love of women | E |
| And even love of wine | F |
| Are the stimulants by which the soul hungering for divinity | A |
| Reaches the ecstatic vision | E |
| And sees the celestial outposts | B |
| Only after many trials for strength | G |
| Only when all stimulants fail | H |
| Does the aspiring soul | I |
| By its own sheer power | C |
| Find the divine | F |
| By resting upon itself | J |
