Old Woman Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEF GHEIGJThe owl car clatters along dogged by the echo | A |
From building and battered paving stone | B |
The headlight scoffs at the mist | C |
And fixes its yellow rays in the cold slow rain | D |
Against a pane I press my forehead | E |
And drowsily look on the walls and sidewalks | F |
- | |
The headlight finds the way | G |
And life is gone from the wet and the welter | H |
Only an old woman bloated disheveled and bleared | E |
Far wandered waif of other days | I |
Huddles for sleep in a doorway | G |
Homeless | J |
