Reuben Pantier Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJCHIKIFLGFM IMGNO| Well Emily Sparks your prayers were not wasted | A |
| Your love was not all in vain | B |
| I owe whatever I was in life | C |
| To your hope that would not give me up | D |
| To your love that saw me still as good | E |
| Dear Emily Sparks let me tell you the story | F |
| I pass the effect of my father and mother | G |
| The milliner's daughter made me trouble | H |
| And out I went in the world | I |
| Where I passed through every peril known | J |
| Of wine and women and joy of life | C |
| One night in a room in the Rue de Rivoli | H |
| I was drinking wine with a black eyed cocotte | I |
| And the tears swam into my eyes | K |
| She though they were amorous tears and smiled | I |
| For thought of her conquest over me | F |
| But my soul was three thousand miles away | L |
| In the days when you taught me in Spoon River | G |
| And just because you no more could love me | F |
| Nor pray for me nor write me letters | M |
| The eternal silence of you spoke instead | I |
| And the Black eyed cocotte took the tears for hers | M |
| As well as the deceiving kisses I gave her | G |
| Somehow from that hour I had a new vision | N |
| Dear Emily Sparks | O |
