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