East London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABDAEFEGFG| 'Twas August and the fierce sun overhead | A |
| Smote on the squalid streets of Bethnal Green | B |
| And the pale weaver through his windows seen | B |
| In Spitalfields looked thrice dispirited | C |
| I met a preacher there I knew and said | A |
| Ill and o'erworked how fare you in this scene | B |
| Bravely said he for I of late have been | D |
| Much cheered with thoughts of Christ the living bread | A |
| O human soul as long as thou canst so | E |
| Set up a mark of everlasting light | F |
| Above the howling senses' ebb and flow | E |
| To cheer thee and to right thee if thou roam | G |
| Not with lost toil thou labourest through the night | F |
| Thou mak'st the heaven thou hop'st indeed thy home | G |
