The Leaden-eyed Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBCDED| Let not young souls be smothered out before | A |
| They do quaint deeds and fully flaunt their pride | B |
| It is the world's one crime its babes grow dull | C |
| Its poor are ox like limp and leaden eyed | B |
| Not that they starve but starve so dreamlessly | C |
| Not that they sow but that they seldom reap | D |
| Not that they serve but have no gods to serve | E |
| Not that they die but that they die like sheep | D |
