The Dead Democrat Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDDEEFFGG HHIIJJ| The roar and rush of life sweeps on | A |
| Still shines the sun as once it shone | B |
| Men reap and sow and live and toil | C |
| And plan for power and scheme for spoil | C |
| What reeks the world in field or street | D |
| One heart has ceased to beat | D |
| But She to whom in all the lands | E |
| The toilers stretch beseeching hands | E |
| Democracy the Soul of all | F |
| Marks where her faithful servants fall | F |
| They seek not things that others seek | G |
| Who battle for the weak | G |
| - | |
| Her yoke is heavy to be borne | H |
| Her bitter paths are choked with thorn | H |
| But glorious shines through mist and haze | I |
| The splendour of her coming days | I |
| Our loftiest tribute shall be then | J |
| He served his fellow men | J |
