The Market-place Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDDC| My mind is like a clamorous market place | A |
| All day in wind rain sun its babel wells | B |
| Voice answering to voice in tumult swells | B |
| Chaffering and laughing pushing for a place | A |
| My thoughts haste on gay strange poor simple base | A |
| This one buys dust and that a bauble sells | B |
| But none to any scrutiny hints or tells | B |
| The haunting secrets hidden in each sad face | A |
| - | |
| - | |
| The clamour quietens when the dark draws near | C |
| Strange looms the earth in twilight of the West | D |
| Lonely with one sweet star serene and clear | C |
| Dwelling when all this place is hushed to rest | D |
| On vacant stall gold refuse worst and best | D |
| Abandoned utterly in haste and fear | C |
