I Know, You Walk-- Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCBEFGFEH E II walk so often late along the streets | A |
Lower my gaze and hurry full of dread | B |
Suddenly silently you still might rise | C |
And I would have to gaze on all your grief | D |
With my own eyes | C |
While you demand your happiness that's dead | B |
I know you walk beyond me every night | E |
With a coy footfall in a wretched dress | F |
And walk for money looking miserable | G |
Your shoes gather God knows what ugly mess | F |
The wind plays in your hair with lewd delight | E |
You walk and walk and find no home at all | H |
