Footsteps In The Street Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG IJKI BLLB| Oh will the footsteps never be done | A |
| The insolent feet | B |
| Thronging the street | B |
| Forsaken now of the only one | A |
| - | |
| The only one out of all the throng | C |
| Whose footfall I knew | D |
| And could tell it so true | D |
| That I leapt to see as she passed along | C |
| - | |
| As she passed along with her beautiful face | E |
| Which knew full well | F |
| Though it did not tell | F |
| That I was there in the window space | E |
| - | |
| Now my sense is never so clear | G |
| It cheats my heart | H |
| Making me start | H |
| A thousand times when she is not near | G |
| - | |
| When she is not near but so far away | I |
| I could not come | J |
| To the place of her home | K |
| Though I travelled and sought for a month and a day | I |
| - | |
| Do you wonder then if I wish the street | B |
| Were grown with grass | L |
| And no foot might pass | L |
| Till she treads it again with her sacred feet | B |
