The Party Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCBBBBBBDDBBBBEE FFBBCC| THE house is bright with lights and lights | A |
| Like a palace in the Arabian Nights | A |
| Lights in festoons and lights in clusters | B |
| In chandeliers and crystal lustres | B |
| And all the length of the stairs' broad way | C |
| Tapestries green and pink and gray | C |
| Tell a story of ladies' bowers | B |
| Hung with apples and paved with flowers | B |
| And beyond an open arch discloses | B |
| An inner garden of palms and roses | B |
| With lines of lilies against the walls | B |
| And a fountain that falls and waits and falls | B |
| And from the ballroom comes the beat | D |
| Of dance music and dancing feet | D |
| And through the doorways of gold and glass | B |
| Figures of dancers pass and pass | B |
| Lovely creatures in dripping laces | B |
| And all have sad unhopeful faces | B |
| One person only yields to joy | E |
| And he is a footman a round faced boy | E |
| Stiff in a livery of black and green | F |
| And he laughs at something heard or seen | F |
| Laughs with a loud and lonely gladness | B |
| Laughs perhaps at the dancers' sadness | B |
| He only seemed for an instant gay | C |
| And he was instantly sent away | C |
