Thomas Hood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCAACCA DEDFFE| The man who cloaked his bitterness within | A |
| This winding sheet of puns and pleasantries | B |
| God never gave to look with common eyes | C |
| Upon a world of anguish and of sin | A |
| His brother was the branded man of Lynn | A |
| And there are woven with his jollities | C |
| The nameless and eternal tragedies | C |
| That render hope and hopelessness akin | A |
| - | |
| We laugh and crown him but anon we feel | D |
| A still chord sorrow swept a weird unrest | E |
| And thin dim shadows home to midnight steal | D |
| As if the very ghost of mirth were dead | F |
| As if the joys of time to dreams had fled | F |
| Or sailed away with Ines to the West | E |
