Nuit Blanche Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDDD EFEF GHGH IDID AA| I want no horns to rouse me up to night | A |
| And trumpets make too clamorous a ring | B |
| To fit my mood it is so weary white | A |
| I have no wish for doing any thing | B |
| - | |
| A music coaxed from humming strings would please | C |
| Not plucked but drawn in creeping cadences | D |
| Across a sunset wall where some Marquise | D |
| Picks a pale rose amid strange silences | D |
| - | |
| Ghostly and vaporous her gown sweeps by | E |
| The twilight dusking wall I hear her feet | F |
| Delaying on the gravel and a sigh | E |
| Briefly permitted touches the air like sleet | F |
| - | |
| And it is dark I hear her feet no more | G |
| A red moon leers beyond the lily tank | H |
| A drunken moon ogling a sycamore | G |
| Running long fingers down its shining flank | H |
| - | |
| A lurching moon as nimble as a clown | I |
| Cuddling the flowers and trees which burn like glass | D |
| Red kissing lips I feel you on my gown | I |
| Kiss me red lips and then pass pass | D |
| - | |
| Music you are pitiless to night | A |
| And I so old so cold so languorously white | A |
