St Michael's Chapel Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEEEEE| When the vexed hubbub of our world of gain | A |
| Roars round about me as I walk the street | B |
| The myriad noise of Traffic and the beat | B |
| Of Toil's incessant hammer the fierce strain | A |
| Of struggle hand to hand and brain to brain | A |
| Ofttimes a sudden dream my sense will cheat | B |
| The gaudy shops the sky piled roofs retreat | B |
| And all at once I stand enthralled again | C |
| Within a marble minster over seas | D |
| I watch the solemn gold stained gloom that creeps | E |
| To kiss an alabaster tomb where sleeps | E |
| A lady 'twixt two knights' stone effigies | E |
| And every day in dusky glory steeps | E |
| Their sculptured slumber of five centuries | E |
