In A London Drawingroom Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGAHAIJKILMNOP| The sky is cloudy yellowed by the smoke | A |
| For view there are the houses opposite | B |
| Cutting the sky with one long line of wall | C |
| Like solid fog far as the eye can stretch | D |
| Monotony of surface of form | E |
| Without a break to hang a guess upon | F |
| No bird can make a shadow as it flies | G |
| For all is shadow as in ways o'erhung | A |
| By thickest canvass where the golden rays | H |
| Are clothed in hemp No figure lingering | A |
| Pauses to feed the hunger of the eye | I |
| Or rest a little on the lap of life | J |
| All hurry on look upon the ground | K |
| Or glance unmarking at the passers by | I |
| The wheels are hurrying too cabs carriages | L |
| All closed in multiplied identity | M |
| The world seems one huge prison house court | N |
| Where men are punished at the slightest cost | O |
| With lowest rate of colour warmth joy | P |
