The Squanderer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEFDE| God gave him passions splendid as the sun | A |
| Meant for the lordliest purposes a part | B |
| Of nature's full and fertile mother heart | B |
| From which new systems and new stars are spun | A |
| And now behold behold what he has done | A |
| In Folly's court and carnal Pleasures' mart | B |
| He flung the wealth life gave him at the start | B |
| This of all mortal sins the deadliest one | A |

| At dawn he stood potential opulent | C |
| With virile manhood and emotions keen | D |
| And wonderful with God's creative fire | E |
| At noon he stands with Love's large fortune spent | F |
| In petty traffic unproductive mean | D |
| A pauper cursed with impotent desire | E |
