The Chain Gang Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Borne in the car along a crowded way | A |
| Sun soaked I saw the world like shadows glide | B |
| Or phantom boats upon a running tide | B |
| Driven through flying fog at break of day | A |
| The chain gang Yes I heard a woman say | A |
| Here in this very street I glanced aside | B |
| And saw the fetters that she flashed in pride | B |
| And turned again to watch the world's array | A |
| Clearly I saw men scurrying on the hour | C |
| Young girls who weary all day on dainty feet | D |
| Dandies whose socks betoken infinite pains | E |
| The life that springs and withers like a flower | C |
| I heard the gangs go clanking down the street | D |
| Intolerably patient of their chains | E |
