A Street Riot Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEDEFF| Poor hapless souls at whom we stand aghast | A |
| As at invading armies sweeping by | B |
| As strange to haggard face and desperate cry | B |
| Did we not know the worm must turn at last | A |
| Poor hungry men with hungry children cast | A |
| Upon the wintry streets to thieve or die | B |
| Suffering your wants and woes so silently | C |
| Patient so long is all your patience past | A |
| - | |
| Are there no ears to hear this warning call | D |
| Are there no eyes to see this portent dread | E |
| Must brute force rise and social order fall | D |
| Ere these starved millions can be clothed and fed | E |
| Justice be judge Let future history say | F |
| Which are the greatest criminals to day | F |
