Rhyme Scheme: ABCCDE FGHIJKThe room was penurious and common | A |
Hidden over a disreputable tavern | B |
The alley could be seen from the window | C |
Unclean and narrow From below | C |
Came the voices of a few workmen | D |
Who were playing cards and having a good time | E |

There on the vulgar on the humble bed | F |

In my solitary house I am drunk again | K |
