London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG EHIH| I wander thro' each charter'd street | A |
| Near where the charter'd Thames does flow | B |
| A mark in every face I meet | A |
| Marks of weakness marks of woe | B |
| - | |
| In every cry of every Man | C |
| In every Infants cry of fear | D |
| In every voice in every ban | C |
| The mind forg'd manacles I hear | E |
| - | |
| How the Chimney sweepers cry | F |
| Every blackening Church appalls | G |
| And the hapless Soldiers sigh | F |
| Runs in blood down Palace walls | G |
| - | |
| But most thro' midnight streets I hear | E |
| How the youthful Harlots curse | H |
| Blasts the new born Infants tear | I |
| And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse | H |
