The Curë©'s Progress. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB BDED DDFD GHHH IHJH KDLH LMLM HHCH| Monsieur the Cur down the street | A |
| Comes with his kind old face | B |
| With his coat worn bare and his straggling hair | C |
| And his green umbrella case | B |
| - | |
| You may see him pass by the little Grande Place | B |
| And the tiny H 'tel de Ville | D |
| He smiles as he goes to the fleuriste Rose | E |
| And the pompier Th ophile | D |
| - | |
| He turns as a rule through the March cool | D |
| Where the noisy fish wives call | D |
| And his compliment pays to the Belle Th r se | F |
| As she knits in her dusky stall | D |
| - | |
| There's a letter to drop at the locksmith's shop | G |
| And Toto the locksmith's niece | H |
| Has jubilant hopes for the Cur gropes | H |
| In his tails for a pain d' pice | H |
| - | |
| There's a little dispute with a merchant of fruit | I |
| Who is said to be heterodox | H |
| That will ended be with a Ma foi oui | J |
| And a pinch from the Cur 's box | H |
| - | |
| There is also a word that no one heard | K |
| To the furrier's daughter Lou | D |
| And a pale cheek fed with a flickering red | L |
| And a Bon Dieu garde M'sieu | H |
| - | |
| But a grander way for the Sous Pr fet | L |
| And a bow for Ma'am'selle Anne | M |
| And a mock off hat to the Notary's cat | L |
| And a nod to the Sacristan | M |
| - | |
| For ever through life the Cur goes | H |
| With a smile on his kind old face | H |
| With his coat worn bare and his straggling hair | C |
| And his green umbrella case | H |
