Johnnie Sayre Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFIFGJ| Father thou canst never know | A |
| The anguish that smote my heart | B |
| For my disobedience the moment I felt | C |
| The remorseless wheel of the engine | D |
| Sink into the crying flesh of my leg | E |
| As they carried me to the home of widow Morris | F |
| I could see the school house in the valley | G |
| To which I played truant to steal rides upon the trains | H |
| I prayed to live until I could ask your forgiveness | F |
| And then your tears your broken words of comfort | I |
| From the solace of that hour I have gained infinite happiness | F |
| Thou wert wise to chisel for me | G |
| Taken from the evil to come | J |
