Mother Of Exiles Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABACDEDECFC GDGH IJKIKJKKKKKLMKLNKNKO BO| What far off trouble steals | A |
| In soft blown drifts of glimmering rain | B |
| What is it the wind feels | A |
| What sighing of what old home seeking pain | B |
| Among the hurried footsteps and the wheels | A |
| The living low continual roar | C |
| Of night and London What is it comes near | D |
| Felt like a blind man's touch along the wall | E |
| Questing and strange like fear | D |
| Lets a lone silence 'mid the turmoil fall | E |
| Makes the long street seem vaster than before | C |
| And the tall lamp above dim passers by | F |
| Gleam solitary as on an ocean shore | C |
| - | |
| Ships on far tracks are stemming through the night | G |
| South east and west by foreign stars they steer | D |
| Another half world in the sun lies bright | G |
| The darkness and the wind are here | H |
| - | |
| And now the rare late footfall scarce is heard | I |
| But the wind cries along the emptied street | J |
| In cowering lamp light flicker the fine drops | K |
| To vanish wildly blurred | I |
| A hunted sky flies over the housetops | K |
| Importunate gusts beat | J |
| Shaking the windows knocking at the doors | K |
| As with phantasmal hands | K |
| A crying as of spirits from far shores | K |
| And the bright under lands | K |
| Seeking one place | K |
| That is to each eternal in the hue | L |
| The light the shadow of some certain hour | M |
| One pang like moment years cannot efface | K |
| O infinite remoteness near and new | L |
| O corner where friend parted from his friend | N |
| O door of the first kiss the last embrace | K |
| O day when all was possible O end | N |
| Irrevocable O dream feet that pace | K |
| One street dear to the dead | O |
| O London stones that glimmer in the rain | B |
| With bliss with pain have you not also bled | O |
