Of The Slums Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBCDEFDGH| Red Faced as old carousal and with eyes | A |
| A hard hot blue her hair a frowsy flame | B |
| Bold dowdy bosomed from her widow frame | B |
| She leans her mouth all insult and all lies | A |
| Or slattern slippered and in sluttish gown | C |
| With ribald mirth and words too vile to name | B |
| A new Doll Tearsheet glorying in her shame | B |
| Armed with her Falstaff now she takes the town | C |
| The flaring lights of alley way saloons | D |
| The reek of hideous gutters and black oaths | E |
| Of drunkenness from vice infested dens | F |
| Are to her senses what the silvery moon's | D |
| Chaste splendor is and what the blossoming growths | G |
| Of earth and bird song are to innocence | H |
