Chaplinesque Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGD HIDDD DJDKL MNOPD

We will make our meek adjustmentsA
Contented with such random consolationsB
As the wind depositsC
In slithered and too ample pocketsD
-
For we can still love the world who findE
A famished kitten on the step and knowF
Recesses for it from the fury of the streetG
Or warm torn elbow covertsD
-
We will sidestep and to the final smirkH
Dally the doom of that inevitable thumbI
That slowly chafes its puckered index toward usD
Facing the dull squint with what innocenceD
And what surpriseD
-
And yet these fine collapses are not liesD
More than the pirouettes of any pliant caneJ
Our obsequies are in a way no enterpriseD
We can evade you and all else but the heartK
What blame to us if the heart live onL
-
The game enforces smirks but we have seenM
The moon in lonely alleys makeN
A grail of laughter of an empty ash canO
And through all sound of gaiety and questP
Have heard a kitten in the wildernessD
