Thoughts At A Railway Station Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CBCCCB DBDDDB EBEEEB FBFFFB DBDDDB| 'Tis but a box of modest deal | A |
| Directed to no matter where | B |
| Yet down my cheek the teardrops steal | A |
| Yes I am blubbering like a seal | A |
| For on it is this mute appeal | A |
| With care | B |
| - | |
| I am a stern cold man and range | C |
| Apart but those vague words With care | B |
| Wake yearnings in me sweet as strange | C |
| Drawn from my moral Moated Grange | C |
| I feel I rather like the change | C |
| Of air | B |
| - | |
| Hast thou ne'er seen rough pointsmen spy | D |
| Some simple English phrase With care | B |
| Or This side uppermost and cry | D |
| Like children No No more have I | D |
| Yet deem not him whose eyes are dry | D |
| A bear | B |
| - | |
| But ah what treasure hides beneath | E |
| That lid so much the worse for wear | B |
| A ring perhaps a rosy wreath | E |
| A photograph by Vernon Heath | E |
| Some matron's temporary teeth | E |
| Or hair | B |
| - | |
| Perhaps some seaman in Peru | F |
| Or Ind hath stow'd herein a rare | B |
| Cargo of birds' eggs for his Sue | F |
| With many a vow that he'll be true | F |
| And many a hint that she is too | F |
| Too fair | B |
| - | |
| Perhaps but wherefore vainly pry | D |
| Into the page that's folded there | B |
| I shall be better by and by | D |
| The porters as I sit and sigh | D |
| Pass and repass I wonder why | D |
| They stare | B |
