London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBA DEDEFF| The gorgeous stream of England's wealth goes by | A |
| Mixed with the mud and refuse as of old | B |
| The hungry homeless naked sick and cold | B |
| Want mocked by waste and greedy luxury | C |
| There in their downy carriage cushions lie | A |
| Proud women whose fair bodies have been sold | B |
| And bought for coronet or merchant gold | B |
| For whose base splendours envious maidens sigh | A |
| - | |
| Some day the social ban will fall on them | D |
| On wanton rich who taunt their starving kin | E |
| Some day the social judgment will condemn | D |
| These wedded harlots in their shame and sin | E |
| A juster world shall separate them then | F |
| From all pure women and all honoured men | F |
