Islington Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE C| Here slow decay with creeping finger peels | A |
| The yellow plaster from the grimy walls | B |
| Like leprous lichen day by day which falls | B |
| And day by day more rotting stone reveals | A |
| Here are old mournful squares through which there steals | A |
| No cheerful music or the heedless calls | B |
| Of laughing children and the smoke which crawls | B |
| Across the sky the heavy silence seals | A |
| - | |
| Lean blackened trees stretch up their withered boughs | C |
| Behind the rusty railings prison bound | D |
| In vain they seek the summer sunlight's gold | E |
| In which their long dead fathers used to drowse | C |
| For pallid terraces lie far around | D |
| In gloomy sadness ever growing old | E |
| - | |
| Ochey les Bains | C |
