Fallen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDEEDC| For want of bread to eat and clothes to wear | A |
| Because work failed and streets were deep in snow | B |
| And this meant food and fire she fell so low | B |
| Sinning for dear life's sake in sheer despair | A |
| Or because life was else so bald and bare | A |
| The natural woman in her craved to know | B |
| The warmth of passion as pale buds to blow | B |
| And feel the noonday sun and fertile air | A |
| - | |
| And who condemns She who for vulgar gain | C |
| And in cold blood and not for love or need | D |
| Has sold her body to more vile disgrace | E |
| The prosperous matron with her comely face | E |
| Wife by the law but prostitute in deed | D |
| In whose gross wedlock womanhood is slain | C |
