Croquis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDE| The beach was crowded Pausing now and then | A |
| He groped and fiddled doggedly along | B |
| His worn face glaring on the thoughtless throng | B |
| The stony peevishness of sightless men | A |
| He seemed scarce older than his clothes Again | A |
| Grotesquing thinly many an old sweet song | B |
| So cracked his fiddle his hand so frail and wrong | B |
| You hardly could distinguish one in ten | A |
| He stopped at last and sat him on the sand | C |
| And grasping wearily his bread winner | D |
| Staring dim towards the blue immensity | C |
| Then leaned his head upon his poor old hand | C |
| He may have slept he did not speak nor stir | D |
| His gesture spoke a vast despondency | E |
