W. Lloyd Garrison Standard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFGHIJAKLMNOPVegetarian non resistant free thinker in ethics a Christian | A |
Orator apt at the rhine stone rhythm of Ingersoll | B |
Carnivorous avenger believer and pagan | A |
Continent promiscuous changeable treacherous vain | C |
Proud with the pride that makes struggle a thing for laughter | D |
With heart cored out by the worm of theatric despair | E |
Wearing the coat of indifference to hide the shame of defeat | F |
I child of the abolitionist idealism | G |
A sort of Brand in a birth of half and half | H |
What other thing could happen when I defended | I |
The patriot scamps who burned the court house | J |
That Spoon River might have a new one | A |
Than plead them guilty When Kinsey Keene drove through | K |
The card board mask of my life with a spear of light | L |
What could I do but slink away like the beast of myself | M |
Which I raised from a whelp to a corner and growl | N |
The pyramid of my life was nought but a dune | O |
Barren and formless spoiled at last by the storm | P |
