The Clerks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAABBD EFGEFG| I did not think that I should find them there | A |
| When I came back again but there they stood | B |
| As in the days they dreamed of when young blood | C |
| Was in their cheeks and women called them fair | A |
| Be sure they met me with an ancient air | A |
| And yes there was a shop worn brotherhood | B |
| About them but the men were just as good | B |
| And just as human as they ever were | D |
| - | |
| And you that ache so much to be sublime | E |
| And you that feed yourselves with your descent | F |
| What comes of all your visions and your fears | G |
| Poets and kings are but the clerks of Time | E |
| Tiering the same dull webs of discontent | F |
| Clipping the same sad alnage of the years | G |
