King Street Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFBGBG| A morn a sallow lamp lit morn | A |
| A dawn that never breaks to day | B |
| Old old the faces and forlorn | A |
| The hearts look out so seared so grey | B |
| It is as if some upturned stone | C |
| Had flung to light a vermin rout | D |
| For things misfeatured souls unknown | C |
| Stagger in blind amaze about | D |
| - | |
| Along their gleaming lines of light | E |
| The charging trams go head to ground | F |
| Out from the drifting pathways white | E |
| The faces flash like faces drowned | F |
| And there with painted features drear | B |
| And eyes whose pathos still is sweet | G |
| The hunted hunters prowl and peer | B |
| Their lair the long slow surging street | G |
