The Imported Servant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEFGFG HIHIJKJK| The Blue Sky arches o er mountain and valley | A |
| The scene is as fair as a scene can be | A |
| But I m breaking my heart for a London alley | A |
| And fogs that shall never come back to me | A |
| I choke with tears when the day is dying | B |
| The sunsets grand and the stars are bright | C |
| But it s O for the smell of the fried fish frying | B |
| By the flaring stalls on a Saturday night | C |
| And this oh this is the lonely sequel | D |
| Of all I pictured would come to pass | E |
| They are treating me here as a friend and equal | D |
| But they d say in London that they re no class | E |
| When I think of their kindness my tears flow faster | F |
| The girls are free and the chaps are grand | G |
| It s the boss and the missus for mistress and master | F |
| And they may be right But I don t understand | G |
| - | |
| I see the air in its warm pulsation | H |
| On sandstone cliffs where the ocean dips | I |
| But I m miles and miles from the railway station | H |
| Where trains run down to the wharves and ships | I |
| Those streets are dingy and dark and narrow | J |
| The soot comes down with the rain and sleet | K |
| But O for the sight of a coster s barrow | J |
| And Sunday morning in Chapel Street | K |
