Melodian Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBA DEEFFD G| I have been at this shooting gallery too long | A |
| It is monotonous how the little coloured balls | B |
| Make up and down on their silvery water thread | C |
| It would be pleasant to have money and go instead | C |
| To watch your greasy audience in the threepenny stalls | B |
| Of the World famous Caravan of Dance and Song | A |
| - | |
| And I want to go out beyond the turf fires there | D |
| After I've looked at your just smiling face | E |
| To that untented silent dark blue nighted place | E |
| And wait such time as you will wish the noise all dumb | F |
| And drop your fairings and leave the funny man and come | F |
| You have the most understanding face in all the fair | D |
| - | |
| From the Arabic of John Duncan | G |
