The Blind Man At The Fair Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB ABAB| O to be blind | A |
| To know the darkness that I know | B |
| The stir I hear is empty wind | A |
| The people idly come and go | B |
| - | |
| The sun is black tho' warm and kind | A |
| The horsemen ride the streamers blow | B |
| Vainly in the fluky wind | A |
| For all is darkness where I go | B |
| - | |
| The cattle bellow to their kind | A |
| The mummers dance the jugglers throw | B |
| The thimble rigger speaks his mind | A |
| But all is darkness where I go | B |
| - | |
| I feel the touch of womankind | A |
| Their dresses flow as white as snow | B |
| But beauty is a withered rind | A |
| For all is darkness where I go | B |
| - | |
| Last night the moon of Lammas shined | A |
| Rising high and setting low | B |
| But light is nothing to the blind | A |
| All all is darkness where they go | B |
| - | |
| White roads I walk with vacant mind | A |
| White cloud shapes round me drifting slow | B |
| White lilies waving in the wind | A |
| And darkness everywhere I go | B |
