Cripple Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHGIJIK| Once when I saw a cripple | A |
| Gasping slowly his last days with the white plague | B |
| Looking from hollow eyes calling for air | C |
| Desperately gesturing with wasted hands | D |
| In the dark and dust of a house down in a slum | E |
| I said to myself | F |
| I would rather have been a tall sunflower | G |
| Living in a country garden | H |
| Lifting a golden brown face to the summer | G |
| Rain washed and dew misted | I |
| Mixed with the poppies and ranking hollyhocks | J |
| And wonderingly watching night after night | I |
| The clear silent processionals of stars | K |
