The Mob Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEDEFF| Why stand dumbfounded and aghast | A |
| As at invading armies sweeping by | B |
| Surprised by haggard face and threatening cry | B |
| The storm unheralded that rose so fast | A |
| Men with gaunt wives and hungry children cast | A |
| Upon the wintry streets to thieve or die | B |
| They cannot always suffer silently | C |
| Patience gives out The poor worm turns at last | A |
| - | |
| And no ear listens to the warning call | D |
| No eye awakes to see the portent dread | E |
| Must brute force reign and social order fall | D |
| Ere these starved millions can be clothed and fed | E |
| A strange phenomenon this unconcern | F |
| To live so fast and be so slow to learn | F |
