At Old Railroad Stations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IIJI KLIM| At these tiny old railroad stations | A |
| Which my own train long ago left behind | B |
| I fear for the pressing crush of people | C |
| Departing who pass on this stretch of track | D |
| - | |
| And I would like to see myself rise | E |
| Above the ones waiting on the platform | F |
| So that I am as far as I can be now | G |
| On my journey in this rattlebox life | H |
| - | |
| So that I know bridges and tunnels | I |
| The sea lake rock and cityscapes | I |
| So my eyes and ears are pierced with knowing | J |
| With those unknown in their seats | I |
| - | |
| So that they'll still be sitting in Times' train | K |
| Brooding at the window watching sparks fly | L |
| And the flashing of the tragic signals | I |
| When I long got off at the destination | M |
