Knowlt Hoheimer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDCEDF| I was the first fruits of the battle of Missionary Ridge | A |
| When I felt the bullet enter my heart | B |
| I wished I had staid at home and gone to jail | C |
| For stealing the hogs of Curl Trenary | D |
| Instead of running away and joining the army | D |
| Rather a thousand times the county jail | C |
| Than to lie under this marble figure with wings | E |
| And this granite pedestal Bearing the words Pro Patria | D |
| What do they mean anyway | F |
