Ye Flags Of Picadilly Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADEDFAGAHIEIJKLK AMNM| Ye flags of Piccadilly | A |
| Where I posted up and down | B |
| And wished myself so often | C |
| Well away from you and town | B |
| Are the people walking quietly | A |
| And steady on their feet | D |
| Cabs and omnibuses plying | E |
| Just as usual in the street | D |
| Do the houses look as upright | F |
| As of old they used to be | A |
| And does nothing seem affected | G |
| By the pitching of the sea | A |
| Through the Green Park iron railings | H |
| Do the quick pedestrians pass | I |
| Are the little children playing | E |
| Round the plane tree in the grass | I |
| This squally wild northwester | J |
| With which our vessel fights | K |
| Does it merely serve with you to | L |
| Carry up some paper kites | K |
| Ye flags of Piccadilly | A |
| Which I hated so I vow | M |
| I could wish with all my heart | N |
| You were underneath me now | M |
