In Trafalgar Square Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGHGHIJIK| THE stars shone faint through the smoky blue | A |
| The church bells were ringing | B |
| Three girls arms laced were passing through | A |
| Tramping and singing | B |
| Their heads were bare their short skirts swung | C |
| As they went along | D |
| Their scarf covered breasts heaved up as they sung | C |
| Their defiant Song | D |
| It was not too clean their feminine lay | E |
| But it thrilled me quite | F |
| With its challenge to taskmaster villainous day | E |
| And infamous night | F |
| With its threat to the robber Rich the Proud | G |
| The respectable Free | H |
| And I laughed and shouted to them aloud | G |
| And they shouted to me | H |
| 'Girls that's the shout the shout we shall utter | I |
| When with rifles and spades | J |
| We stand with the old Red Flag aflutter | I |
| On the barricades ' | K |
