I Dare Not Leave The Splendid Town Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLKMNONI dare not leave the splendid town | A |
To go where morning meadows are | B |
For somewhere here the Future's hid | C |
In factory shop or liquor bar | B |
And when the picture shows are closed | D |
She goes to roam about the docks | E |
Oh she has wisdom on her mouth | F |
And blood with honey in her locks | E |
I dare not read of Rosamund | G |
Or such sweet ladyhood in books | H |
Lest dreaming on their excellence | I |
I should forget the Future's looks | H |
And I'll walk lonely all my days | J |
Down city pavements without end | K |
For with young love on flowery paths | L |
I'd have small need of her to friend | K |
Yea I would fain forget to sing | M |
Like larks in city prison bound | N |
In case I should not hear her voice | O |
Above that clatter of sweet sound | N |
