The End Of The World Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGHI| Quite unexpectedly as Vasserot | A |
| The armless ambidextrian was lighting | B |
| A match between his great and second toe | A |
| And Ralph the lion was engaged in biting | B |
| The neck of Madame Sossman while the drum | C |
| Pointed and Teeny was about to cough | D |
| In waltz time swinging Jocko by the thumb | C |
| Quite unexpectedly the top blew off | E |
| - | |
| And there there overhead there there hung over | F |
| Those thousands of white faces those dazed eyes | G |
| There in the starless dark the poise the hover | F |
| There with vast wings across the cancelled skies | G |
| There in the sudden blackness the black pall | H |
| Of nothing nothing nothing nothing at all | I |
