Cassandra Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJHC

The mad girl with the staring eyes and long white fingersA
Hooked in the stones of the wallB
The storm wrack hair and screeching mouth does it matter CassandraC
Whether the people believeD
Your bitter fountain Truly men hate the truth they'd lieferE
Meet a tiger on the roadF
Therefore the poets honey their truth with lying but religionG
Vendors and political menH
Pour from the barrel new lies on the old and are praised for kindlyI
Wisdom Poor bitch be wiseJ
No you'll still mumble in a corner a crust of truth to menH
And gods disgusting you and I CassandraC

Jennifer: Well I couldn't be more wrong. I have been searching for a poem I read in passing over 20 years ago. The line I remembered was "Alas, poor bitch", and I thought it was the first line, and I thought the poet was Canadian.
This poem was worth finding again though -- I'm right about that much. Too funny that 2020 is the year it resurfaces.
