Magrady Graham Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJAKLMNOLPQ| Tell me was Altgeld elected Governor | A |
| For when the returns began to come in | B |
| And Cleveland was sweeping the East | C |
| It was too much for you poor old heart | D |
| Who had striven for democracy | E |
| In the long long years of defeat | F |
| And like a watch that is worn | G |
| I felt you growing slower until you stopped | H |
| Tell me was Altgeld elected | I |
| And what did he do | J |
| Did they bring his head on a platter to a dancer | A |
| Or did he triumph for the people | K |
| For when I saw him | L |
| And took his hand | M |
| The child like blueness of his eyes | N |
| Moved me to tears | O |
| And there was an air of eternity about him | L |
| Like the cold clear light that rests at dawn | P |
| On the hills | Q |
