Approach To St. Paul's Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACB BCDEEDFF| Eastwards through busy streets I lingered on | A |
| Jostled by anxious crowds who heart and brain | B |
| Were so absorbed in dreams of Mammon gain | B |
| That they could spare no time to look upon | A |
| The sunset's gold and crimson fires which shone | C |
| Blessing keen eyes and wrinkled brows in vain | B |
| - | |
| Right in my path stood out that solemn Fane | B |
| Whose soaring cupola of stern grey stone | C |
| Lifteth for awful beacon to the sky | D |
| The burning Cross silent and sole amid | E |
| That ceaseless uproar as a pyramid | E |
| Isled in its desert The great throngs pressed by | D |
| Heedless and urgent thus Religion towers | F |
| Above this sordid restless life of ours | F |
