In The Street. Lord - - Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACACDEDEFF| You have done well we say it You are dead | A |
| And of the man that with the right hand takes | B |
| Less than the left hand gives let it be said | A |
| He has done something for our wretched sakes | B |
| For those to whom you gave their daily bread | A |
| Rancid with God loathed charity their drink | C |
| Putrid with man loathed sin we bow our head | A |
| Grateful as the great hearse goes by and think | C |
| Yes you have fed the flesh and starved the soul | D |
| Of thousands of us you have taught too well | E |
| The rich are little gods beyond control | D |
| Save of your big God of the heaven and hell | E |
| We thank you This was pretty once and right | F |
| Now it wears rather thin My lord good night | F |
