The Dray Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH BIJI| Huge through the darkened street | A |
| The Dray comes rolling an uneven thunder | B |
| Of wheels and trampling feet | A |
| The shaken windows stare in sleepy wonder | B |
| - | |
| Now through an open space | C |
| Where loitering groups about the tavern's fume | D |
| Show many a sullen face | C |
| And brawling figure in the lighted gloom | D |
| - | |
| It moves a shadowy force | E |
| Through misery triumphant flushed on high | F |
| Guiding his easy course | E |
| A giant sits with indolent soft eye | F |
| - | |
| He turns not that dim crowd | G |
| Of listless forms beneath him to behold | H |
| Shawled women with head bowed | G |
| Flitting in hasty stealth and children old | H |
| - | |
| Calm as some conqueror | B |
| Rode through old Rome nor heeded at his heel | I |
| 'Mid the proud spoils of war | J |
| What woeful captives thronged his chariot wheel | I |
