The Roads Also Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDD EFGHI JJJKL MMNMO| The roads also have their wistful rest | A |
| When the weathercocks perch still and roost | B |
| And the looks of men turn kind to clocks | C |
| And the trams go empty to their drome | D |
| The streets also dream their dream | D |
| - | |
| The old houses muse of the old days | E |
| And their fond trees leaning on them doze | F |
| On their steps chatter and clatter stops | G |
| For the cries of other times hold men | H |
| And they hear the unknown moan | I |
| - | |
| They remember alien ardours and far futures | J |
| And the smiles not seen in happy features | J |
| Their begetters call them from the gutters | J |
| In the gardens unborn child souls wail | K |
| And the dead scribble on walls | L |
| - | |
| Though their own child cry for them in tears | M |
| Women weep but hear no sound upstairs | M |
| They believe in love they had not lived | N |
| And passion past the reach of stairs | M |
| To the world's towers or stars | O |
