The Scene Behind The Carriage Window-panes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDE FFGG HHIJHH| The scene behind the carriage window panes | A |
| Goes flitting past in furious flight whole plains | A |
| With streams and harvest fields and trees and blue | B |
| Are swallowed by the whirlpool whereinto | C |
| The telegraph's slim pillars topple o'er | D |
| Whose wires look strangely like a music score | E |
| - | |
| A smell of smoke and steam a horrid din | F |
| As of a thousand clanking chains that pin | F |
| A thousand giants that are whipped and howl | G |
| And suddenly long hoots as of an owl | G |
| - | |
| What is it all to me Since in mine eyes | H |
| The vision lingers that beatifies | H |
| Since still the soft voice murmurs in mine ear | I |
| And since the Name so sweet so high so dear | J |
| Pure pivot of this madding whirl prevails | H |
| Above the brutal clangor of the rails | H |
