Mendicants Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Bleak in dark rags of clouds the day begins | A |
| That passed so splendidly but yesterday | B |
| Wrapped in magnificence of gold and gray | B |
| And poppy and rose Now burdened as with sins | A |
| Their wildness clad in fogs like coats of skins | A |
| Tattered and streaked with rain gaunt clogged with clay | B |
| The mendicant Hours take their somber way | B |
| Westward o'er Earth to which no sunray wins | A |
| Their splashing sandals ooze their foosteps drip | C |
| Puddle and brim with moisture their sad hair | D |
| Is tagged with haggard drops that with their eyes' | E |
| Slow streams are blent each sullen fingertip | C |
| Rivers while round them in the grief drenched air | D |
| Wearies the wind of their perpetual sighs | E |
