In Fisherrow Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| A hard north easter fifty winters long | A |
| Has bronzed and shrivelled sere her face and neck | B |
| Her locks are wild and grey her teeth a wreck | B |
| Her foot is vast her bowed leg spare and strong | A |
| A wide blue cloak a squat and sturdy throng | A |
| Of curt blue coats a mutch without a speck | B |
| A white vest broidered black her person deck | B |
| Nor seems their picked stern old world quaintness wrong | A |
| Her great creel forehead slung she wanders nigh | C |
| Easing the heavy strap with gnarled brown fingers | D |
| The spirit of traffic watchful in her eye | C |
| Ever and anon imploring you to buy | C |
| As looking down the street she onward lingers | D |
| Reproachful with a strange and doleful cry | C |
