The Poor Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DEFE GCHC IJKJFew save the poor feel for the poor | A |
The rich know not how hard | B |
It is to be of needful food | C |
And needful rest debarred | C |

Their paths are paths of plenteousness | D |
They sleep on silk and down | E |
And never think how heavily | F |
The weary head lies down | E |

They know not of the scanty meal | G |
With small pale faces round | C |
No fire upon the cold damp hearth | H |
When snow is on the ground | C |

They never by the window lean | I |
And see the gay pass by | J |
Then take their weary task again | K |
But with a sadder eye | J |
