A March Day In London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEEAFAF GGGHHIIJJ KKFL| The east wind blows in the street to day | A |
| The sky is blue yet the town looks grey | A |
| 'Tis the wind of ice the wind of fire | B |
| Of cold despair and of hot desire | B |
| Which chills the flesh to aches and pains | C |
| And sends a fever through all the veins | C |
| - | |
| From end to end with aimless feet | D |
| All day long have I paced the street | D |
| My limbs are weary but in my breast | E |
| Stirs the goad of a mad unrest | E |
| I would give anything to stay | A |
| The little wheel that turns in my brain | F |
| The little wheel that turns all day | A |
| That turns all night with might and main | F |
| - | |
| What is the thing I fear and why | G |
| Nay but the world is all awry | G |
| The wind's in the east the sun's in the sky | G |
| The gas lamps gleam in a golden line | H |
| The ruby lights of the hansoms shine | H |
| Glance and flicker like fire flies bright | I |
| The wind has fallen with the night | I |
| And once again the town seems fair | J |
| Thwart the mist that hangs i' the air | J |
| - | |
| And o'er at last my spirit steals | K |
| A weary peace peace that conceals | K |
| Within its inner depths the grain | F |
| Of hopes that yet shall flower again | L |
