Farewell Cable Tram Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIHJKL MANAA OPQPRSTS GUVUWDXDYAZAA| Now a sad farewell to the cable tram | A |
| Staunch friend of the quieter days | B |
| That glided down thro' a leisured town | C |
| Ere the urge for speed was a craze | B |
| We'd time to spare and we took the air | D |
| On a sociable seat outside | E |
| Calm charioteers of those peaceful years | F |
| When 'the trams' were a city's pride | E |
| - | |
| Clash Clang The twin bells rang | G |
| And the grip went smoothly in | H |
| Then we floated along to a muted song | I |
| And a dearth of hustle and din | H |
| Untouched by the need for racketting speed | J |
| That frazzles the moderns' nerves | K |
| Scarce heeding at all the warning call | L |
| 'Sit tight Hold on at the curve ' | - |
| Unhurried serene we viewed the scene | M |
| Or chatted with Charlie or Sam | A |
| Oh in spite of the rage of a jazz mad age | N |
| I'm still for the cable tram I am | A |
| The jolly old cable tram | A |
| - | |
| But they're rooting them out the cable trams | O |
| Like all earth's pleasanter things | P |
| To oblivion brought by a Juggernaut | Q |
| That needs no leading strings | P |
| And they'll serve when dead for a shelter shed | R |
| By some shrill suburban road | S |
| Or a garden 'nook ' unbelievably crook | T |
| At a philistine's abode | S |
| - | |
| Clash Clang How the breezes sang | G |
| On a sunny Sabbath Day | U |
| And away we go with Fanny or Flo | V |
| For a tram trip down the Bay | U |
| 'What O There's class ' Proud ponies pass | W |
| With their shining jinkers there | D |
| And joy's complete we've a front row seat | X |
| And the sea wind's in our hair | D |
| And never a car snorts by to mar | Y |
| That peace with its swank and sham | A |
| You may keep your noise and your clattering toys | Z |
| I'm for the cable tram I am | A |
| Idyllic old cable tram | A |
