The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCCDEECFGH| A white bird is the big sky | A |
| Under it a cowering city stares | B |
| The houses are half dead old people | C |
| A gaunt carriage horse gapes grumpily | C |
| Winds skinny dogs run weakly | C |
| Their skins squeel on sharp corners | D |
| In a street a crazed man groans You oh you | E |
| If only I could find you | E |
| A crowd around him is surprised and grins derisively | C |
| Three little people play blind man's bluff | F |
| A gentle tear stained god lays the grey powdery hands | G |
| Of afternoon over everything | H |
