Chaplinesque Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGD HIDDD DJDKL MNOPD| We will make our meek adjustments | A |
| Contented with such random consolations | B |
| As the wind deposits | C |
| In slithered and too ample pockets | D |
| - | |
| For we can still love the world who find | E |
| A famished kitten on the step and know | F |
| Recesses for it from the fury of the street | G |
| Or warm torn elbow coverts | D |
| - | |
| We will sidestep and to the final smirk | H |
| Dally the doom of that inevitable thumb | I |
| That slowly chafes its puckered index toward us | D |
| Facing the dull squint with what innocence | D |
| And what surprise | D |
| - | |
| And yet these fine collapses are not lies | D |
| More than the pirouettes of any pliant cane | J |
| Our obsequies are in a way no enterprise | D |
| We can evade you and all else but the heart | K |
| What blame to us if the heart live on | L |
| - | |
| The game enforces smirks but we have seen | M |
| The moon in lonely alleys make | N |
| A grail of laughter of an empty ash can | O |
| And through all sound of gaiety and quest | P |
| Have heard a kitten in the wilderness | D |
