London Types: Flower-girl Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGHH| There's never a delicate nurseling of the year | A |
| But our huge London hails it and delights | B |
| To wear it on her breast or at her ear | C |
| Her days to colour and make sweet her nights | B |
| Crocus and daffodil and violet | D |
| Pink primrose valley lily close carnation | E |
| Red rose and white rose wall flower mignonette | D |
| The daisies all these be her recreation | E |
| Her gaudies these And forth from Drury Lane | F |
| Trapesing in any of her whirl of weathers | G |
| Her flower girls foot it honest and hoarse and vain | F |
| All boot and little shawl and wilted feathers | G |
| Of populous corners right advantage taking | H |
| And where they squat endlessly posy making | H |
William Ernest Henley
