Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFGE HIIH| Squat unshaven full of gas | A |
| Joseph Samuels former clerk | B |
| in four large cities out of work | B |
| waits in the darkened underpass | A |

| In sanctuary out of reach | C |
| he stares at the fading light outside | D |
| the rain beginning hears the tide | D |
| that drums along the empty beach | C |

| When drops first fell at six o'clock | E |
| the bathers left The last car's gone | F |
| Sun's final rays reflect upon | G |
| the streaking rain the rambling dock | E |

| He takes an object from his coat | H |
| and holds it tightly in his hand | I |
| eyes on the stretch of endless sand | I |
| And then in darkness cuts his throat | H |
