Tired And Unhappy, You Think Of Houses Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIIJKILMGMLM| Tired and unhappy you think of houses | A |
| Soft carpeted and warm in the December evening | B |
| While snow's white pieces fall past the window | C |
| And the orange firelight leaps | D |
| A young girl sings | E |
| That song of Gluck where Orpheus pleads with Death | F |
| Her elders watch nodding their happiness | G |
| To see time fresh again in her self conscious eyes | H |
| The servants bring in the coffee the children go to bed | I |
| Elder and younger yawn and go to bed | I |
| The coals fade and glow rose and ashen | J |
| It is time to shake yourself and break this | K |
| Banal dream and turn your head | I |
| Where the underground is charged where the weight | L |
| Of the lean building is seen | M |
| Where close in the subway rush anonymous | G |
| In the audience well dressed or mean | M |
| So many surround you ringing your fate | L |
| Caught in an anger exact as a machine | M |
