Fog Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBADECCDFGHIGJJIH| Magically awakened to a strange brown night | A |
| The streets lie cold A hush of heavy gloom | B |
| Dulls the noise of the wheels to a murmur dead | C |
| Near and sudden the passing figures loom | B |
| And out of darkness steep on startled sight | A |
| The topless walls in apparition emerge | D |
| Nothing revealing but their own thin flames | E |
| The rayless lamps burn faint and bleared and red | C |
| Link boys' cries and the shuffle of horses led | C |
| Pierce the thick air and like a distant dirge | D |
| Melancholy horns wail from the shrouded Thames | F |
| Long the blind morning hooded the dumb town | G |
| Till lo in an instant winds arose and the air | H |
| Lifted at once from a cold and spectral sky | I |
| Appears the sun and laughs in mockery down | G |
| On groping travellers far from where they deem | J |
| In unconjectured roads the dwindled stream | J |
| Of traffic in slow confusion crawling by | I |
| The baffled hive of helpless man laid bare | H |
