On A Picture Of John D. Rockefeller Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBADEFDGF| If thou Columbia dost from this thy son | A |
| The condor beak and python eyes recoil | B |
| Bethink thee of the years that Freedom's soil | B |
| Was husbanded by devil feet which run | A |
| To scatter lies and wrongs until thereon | C |
| Huge growths do thrive once meadow by the toil | B |
| Of pioneers where now resort for spoil | B |
| The mouths and beaks that hunt for carrion | A |
| In years to come if men mid the debris | D |
| Of this republic shall explore the cause | E |
| Of vast decay two faces will appear | F |
| The perjured Marshall who with sorcery | D |
| Planted the jungle of unequal laws | G |
| And this huge reptile now a nation's Fear | F |
