Thomas Hood Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCC EFEF| NO courtier this and naught to courts he owed | A |
| Fawned not on thrones hymned not the great and callous | B |
| Yet in one strain that few remember showed | A |
| He had the password of King Oberon's palace | B |
| - | |
| And seeing a London seamstress's gray fate | C |
| He of a human heartstring made a thread | D |
| And stitched him such a royal robe of state | C |
| That Eastern Kings are poorlier habited | C |
| - | |
| He saw wan Woman toil with famished eyes | E |
| He saw her bound and strove to sing her free | F |
| He saw her fall'n and wrote 'The Bridge of Sighs' | E |
| And on it crossed to immortality | F |
