Ballade Of A Special Edition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA AAAA| He comes I hear him up the street | A |
| Bird of ill omen flapping wide | B |
| The pinion of a printed sheet | A |
| His hoarse note scares the eventide | A |
| Of slaughter theft and suicide | A |
| He is the herald and the friend | A |
| Now he vociferates with pride | A |
| A double murder in Mile End | A |
| - | |
| A hanging to his soul is sweet | A |
| His gloating fancy's fain to bide | A |
| Where human freighted vessels meet | A |
| And misdirected trains collide | A |
| With Shocking Accidents supplied | A |
| He tramps the town from end to end | A |
| How often have we heard it cried | A |
| A double murder in Mile End | A |
| - | |
| War loves he victory or defeat | A |
| So there be loss on either side | A |
| His tale of horrors incomplete | A |
| Imagination's aid is tried | A |
| Since no distinguished man has died | A |
| And since the Fates relenting send | A |
| No great catastrophe he's spied | A |
| This double murder in Mile End | A |
| - | |
| Fiend get thee gone no more repeat | A |
| Those sounds which do mine ears offend | A |
| It is apocryphal you cheat | A |
| Your double murder in Mile End | A |
