Antwerp To Ghent Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRHS ETUVQW| We are upon the Scheldt We know we move | A |
| Because there is a floating at our eyes | B |
| Whatso they seek and because all the things | C |
| Which on our outset were distinct and large | D |
| Are smaller and much weaker and quite grey | E |
| And at last gone from us No motion else | F |
| We are upon the road The thin swift moon | G |
| Runs with the running clouds that are the sky | H |
| And with the running water runs at whiles | I |
| Weak 'neath the film and heavy growth of reeds | J |
| The country swims with motion Time itself | K |
| Is consciously beside us and perceived | L |
| Our speed is such the sparks our engine leaves | M |
| Are burning after the whole train has passed | N |
| The darkness is a tumult We tear on | O |
| The roll behind us and the cry before | P |
| Constantly in a lull of intense speed | Q |
| And thunder Any other sound is known | R |
| Merely by sight The shrubs the trees your eye | H |
| Scans for their growth are far along in haze | S |
| The sky has lost its clouds and lies away | E |
| Oppressively at calm the moon has failed | T |
| Our speed has set the wind against us Now | U |
| Our engine's heat is fiercer and flings up | V |
| Great glares alongside Wind and steam and speed | Q |
| And clamour and the night We are in Ghent | W |
