Granville Calhoun Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIBJFKLMNODP| I wanted to be County Judge | A |
| One more term so as to round out a service | B |
| Of thirty years | C |
| But my friends left me and joined my enemies | D |
| And they elected a new man | E |
| Then a spirit of revenge seized me | F |
| And I infected my four sons with it | G |
| And I brooded upon retaliation | H |
| Until the great physician Nature | I |
| Smote me through with paralysis | B |
| To give my soul and body a rest | J |
| Did my sons get power and money | F |
| Did they serve the people or yoke them | K |
| To till and harvest fields of self | L |
| For how could they ever forget | M |
| My face at my bed room window | N |
| Sitting helpless amid my golden cages | O |
| Of singing canaries | D |
| Looking at the old court house | P |
