The Circuit Judge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDAEFGHIJFAD| Take note passers by of the sharp erosions | A |
| Eaten in my head stone by the wind and rain | B |
| Almost as if an intangible Nemesis or hatred | C |
| Were marking scores against me | D |
| But to destroy and not preserve my memory | D |
| I in life was the Circuit judge a maker of notches | A |
| Deciding cases on the points the lawyers scored | E |
| Not on the right of the matter | F |
| O wind and rain leave my head stone alone | G |
| For worse than the anger of the wronged | H |
| The curses of the poor | I |
| Was to lie speechless yet with vision clear | J |
| Seeing that even Hod Putt the murderer | F |
| Hanged by my sentence | A |
| Was innocent in soul compared with me | D |
