Midnight On The Great Western Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDB ADEFD AGHIG AJKGJ| In the third class seat sat the journeying boy | A |
| And the roof lamp's oily flame | B |
| Played down on his listless form and face | C |
| Bewrapt past knowing to what he was going | D |
| Or whence he came | B |
| - | |
| In the band of his hat the journeying boy | A |
| Had a ticket stuck and a string | D |
| Around his neck bore the key of his box | E |
| That twinkled gleams of the lamp's sad beams | F |
| Like a living thing | D |
| - | |
| What past can be yours O journeying boy | A |
| Towards a world uknown | G |
| Who calmly as if incurious quite | H |
| On all at stake can undertake | I |
| This plunge alone | G |
| - | |
| Knows your soul a sphere O journeying boy | A |
| Our rude realms far above | J |
| Whence with spacious vision you mark and mete | K |
| This region of sin that you find you in | G |
| But are not of | J |
