Ku Klux Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF GGG CCC| We have sent him seeds of the melon's core | A |
| And nailed a warning upon his door | A |
| By the Ku Klux laws we can do no more | A |
| - | |
| Down in the hollow 'mid crib and stack | B |
| The roof of his low porched house looms black | B |
| Not a line of light at the door sill's crack | B |
| - | |
| Yet arm and mount and mask and ride | C |
| The hounds can sense though the fox may hide | C |
| And for a word too much men oft have died | C |
| - | |
| The clouds blow heavy toward the moon | D |
| The edge of the storm will reach it soon | D |
| The kildee cries and the lonesome loon | D |
| - | |
| The clouds shall flush with a wilder glare | E |
| Than the lightning makes with its angled flare | E |
| When the Ku Klux verdict is given there | E |
| - | |
| In the pause of the thunder rolling low | F |
| A rifle's answer who shall know | F |
| From the wind's fierce hurl and the rain's black blow | F |
| - | |
| Only the signature written grim | G |
| At the end of the message brought to him | G |
| A hempen rope and a twisted limb | G |
| - | |
| So arm and mount and mask and ride | C |
| The hounds can sense though the fox may hide | C |
| For a word too much men oft have died | C |
