A Lounger Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGGHIIFJ| He leant against a lamp post lost | A |
| In some mysterious reverie | B |
| His head was bowed his arms were crossed | A |
| He yawned and glanced evasively | C |
| Uncrossed his arms and slowly put | D |
| Them back again and scratched his side | E |
| Shifted his weight from foot to foot | D |
| And gazed out no ward idle eyed | E |
| - | |
| Grotesque of form and face and dress | F |
| And picturesque in every way | G |
| A figure that from day to day | G |
| Drooped with a limper laziness | H |
| A figure such as artists lean | I |
| In pictures where distress is seen | I |
| Against low hovels where we guess | F |
| No happiness has ever been | J |
