Shadrach O'leary Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDECE| O'Leary was a poet for a while | A |
| He sang of many ladies frail and fair | B |
| The rolling glory of their golden hair | B |
| And emperors extinguished with a smile | A |
| They foiled his years with many an ancient wile | A |
| And if they limped O'Leary didn't care | B |
| He turned them loose and had them everywhere | B |
| Undoing saints and senates with their guile | A |
| - | |
| But this was not the end A year ago | C |
| I met him and to meet was to admire | D |
| Forgotten were the ladies and the lyre | D |
| And the small ink fed Eros of his dream | E |
| By questioning I found a man to know | C |
| A failure spared a Shadrach of the Gleam | E |
