Enter Patient Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFGFFG| The morning mists still haunt the stony street | A |
| The northern summer air is shrill and cold | B |
| And lo the Hospital grey quiet old | B |
| Where Life and Death like friendly chafferers meet | A |
| Thro' the loud spaciousness and draughty gloom | C |
| A small strange child so aged yet so young | D |
| Her little arm besplinted and beslung | D |
| Precedes me gravely to the waiting room | C |
| I limp behind my confidence all gone | E |
| The grey haired soldier porter waves me on | F |
| And on I crawl and still my spirits fail | G |
| A tragic meanness seems so to environ | F |
| These corridors and stairs of stone and iron | F |
| Cold naked clean half workhouse and half jail | G |
