John Wasson Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDAAEFGHIJKLMNOP| Oh the dew wet grass of the meadow in North Carolina | A |
| Through which Rebecca followed me wailing wailing | B |
| One child in her arms and three that ran along wailing | B |
| Lengthening out the farewell to me off to the war with the British | C |
| And then the long hard years down to the day of Yorktown | D |
| And then my search for Rebecca | A |
| Finding her at last in Virginia | A |
| Two children dead in the meanwhile | E |
| We went by oxen to Tennessee | F |
| Thence after years to Illinois | G |
| At last to Spoon River | H |
| We cut the buffalo grass | I |
| We felled the forests | J |
| We built the school houses built the bridges | K |
| Leveled the roads and tilled the fields | L |
| Alone with poverty scourges death | M |
| If Harry Wilmans who fought the Filipinos | N |
| Is to have a flag on his grave | O |
| Take it from mine | P |
