The Imported Servant Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AAAABCBCDEDEFGFG HIHIJKJK

The Blue Sky arches o er mountain and valleyA
The scene is as fair as a scene can beA
But I m breaking my heart for a London alleyA
And fogs that shall never come back to meA
I choke with tears when the day is dyingB
The sunsets grand and the stars are brightC
But it s O for the smell of the fried fish fryingB
By the flaring stalls on a Saturday nightC
And this oh this is the lonely sequelD
Of all I pictured would come to passE
They are treating me here as a friend and equalD
But they d say in London that they re no classE
When I think of their kindness my tears flow fasterF
The girls are free and the chaps are grandG
It s the boss and the missus for mistress and masterF
And they may be right But I don t understandG
-
I see the air in its warm pulsationH
On sandstone cliffs where the ocean dipsI
But I m miles and miles from the railway stationH
Where trains run down to the wharves and shipsI
Those streets are dingy and dark and narrowJ
The soot comes down with the rain and sleetK
But O for the sight of a coster s barrowJ
And Sunday morning in Chapel StreetK
