The Artist Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD E EFGDH IJIJDKDK| All day with brow of anxious thought | A |
| The dictionary through | B |
| Amid a million words he sought | A |
| The sole one that would do | B |
| He wandered on from pub to pub | C |
| Yet never ceased to seek | D |
| With burning brain and pencil stub | C |
| The Word Unique | D |

| Said he 'I'll nail it down or die | E |
| Oh Heaven help me pray ' | - |
| And then a heavy car dashed by | E |
| And he was in the way | F |
| They rushed him to the hospital | G |
| And though his chance was bleak | D |
| He cried 'I'll croak but find I shall | H |
| The Word Unique ' | - |

| They reckoned he was off his head | I |
| And could be it was so | J |
| For as they bent above his bed | I |
| He mumbled soft and low | J |
| And then a name they heard him speak | D |
| Yet did not deem it odd | K |
| At last he'd found the Word Unique | D |
| Just God | K |
