I Dare Not Leave The Splendid Town Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIHJKLKMNON| I 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 |
