The Hope Of The Streets Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB| The still sweet meadows shimmered and I stood | A |
| And cursed them bloom of hedge and bird of tree | B |
| And bright and high beyond the hunch backed wood | A |
| The thunder and the splendour of the sea | B |
| - | |
| Give back the Babylon where I was born | C |
| The lips that gape give back the hands that grope | D |
| And noise and blood and suffocating scorn | C |
| An eddy of fierce faces and a hope | D |
| - | |
| That 'mid those myriad heads one head find place | E |
| With brown hair curled like breakers of the sea | B |
| And two eyes set so strangely in the face | E |
| That all things else are nothing suddenly | B |
