Contrasts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH| I see the tall church steeples | A |
| They reach so far so far | B |
| But the eyes of my heart see the world s great mart | C |
| Where the starving people are | B |
| - | |
| I hear the church bells ringing | D |
| Their chimes on the morning air | E |
| But my soul s sad ear is hurt to hear | F |
| The poor man s cry of despair | E |
| - | |
| Thicker and thicker the churches | G |
| Nearer and nearer the sky | H |
| But alack for their creeds while the poor man s needs | I |
| Grow deeper as years roll by | H |
