Leggett-s Monument Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEDEFFGG| Yes pile the marble o'er him It is well | A |
| That ye who mocked him in his long stern strife | B |
| And planted in the pathway of his life | B |
| The ploughshares of your hatred hot from hell | A |
| Who clamored down the bold reformer when | C |
| He pleaded for his captive fellow men | C |
| Who spurned him in the market place and sought | D |
| Within thy walls St Tammany to bind | E |
| In party chains the free and honest thought | D |
| The angel utterance of an upright mind | E |
| Well is it now that o'er his grave ye raise | F |
| The stony tribute of your tardy praise | F |
| For not alone that pile shall tell to Fame | G |
| Of the brave heart beneath but of the builders' shame | G |
