Idleness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABCA DEFDEF| The street was brisk an animated scene | A |
| And every man was on some business bent | B |
| Absorbed in some employment or intent | B |
| Pre occupied intelligent and keen | A |
| True some were dwarf'd and some were pale and lean | A |
| But to the sorriest visage Labor lent | B |
| A light transfiguring with her sacrament | C |
| The abject countenance and slavish mien | A |
| - | |
| But one he shambled aimlessly along | D |
| Asham'd and shrunk from the abstracted ken | E |
| Of passers by with conscience struck recoil | F |
| A pariah a leper in the throng | D |
| An alien from the commonwealth of men | E |
| A stranger to the covenant of toil | F |
