The World Is Wide Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHGH IJKJ| The world is wide around yon court | A |
| Where dirty little children play | B |
| Another world of street on street | C |
| Grows wide and wider every day | B |
| - | |
| And round the town for endless miles | D |
| A great strange land of green is spread | E |
| O wide the world O weary wide | F |
| But it is wider overhead | E |
| - | |
| For could you mount yon glittering stairs | G |
| And on their topmost turret stand | H |
| Still endless shining courts and squares | G |
| And lanes of lamps on every hand | H |
| - | |
| And might you tread those starry streets | I |
| To where those long perspectives bend | J |
| O you would cast you down and die | K |
| Street upon street world without end | J |
