Jacob Goodpasture Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPIQLR ST| When Fort Sumter fell and the war came | A |
| I cried out in bitterness of soul | B |
| O glorious republic now no more | C |
| When they buried my soldier son | D |
| To the call of trumpets and the sound of drums | E |
| My heart broke beneath the weight | F |
| Of eighty years and I cried | G |
| Oh son who died in a cause unjust | H |
| In the strife of Freedom slain | I |
| And I crept here under the grass | J |
| And now from the battlements of time behold | K |
| Thrice thirty million souls being bound together | L |
| In the love of larger truth | M |
| Rapt in the expectation of the birth | N |
| Of a new Beauty | O |
| Sprung from Brotherhood and Wisdom | P |
| I with eyes of spirit see the Transfiguration | I |
| Before you see it | Q |
| But ye infinite brood of golden eagles nesting ever higher | L |
| Wheeling ever higher the sun light wooing | R |
| Of lofty places of Thought | S |
| Forgive the blindness of the departed owl | T |
