Mitigations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBC DEFEGF| My prison has its pleasures Every day | A |
| At breakfast time spare meal of milk and bread | B |
| Sparrows come trooping in familiar way | A |
| With head aside beseeching to be fed | B |
| A spider too for me has spun her thread | B |
| Across the prison rules and a brave mouse | C |
| Watches in sympathy the warders' tread | B |
| These two my fellow prisoners in the house | C |
| - | |
| But about dusk in the rooms opposite | D |
| I see lamps lighted and upon the blind | E |
| A shadow passes all the evening through | F |
| It is the gaoler's daughter fair and kind | E |
| And full of pity so I image it | G |
| Till the stars rise and night begins anew | F |
