The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCDDCEEFGGF| Beyond the dusky corn fields toward the west | A |
| Dotted with farms beyond the shallow stream | B |
| Through drifts of elm with quiet peep and gleam | B |
| Curved white and slender as a lady's wrist | C |
| Faint and far off out of the autumn mist | C |
| Even as a pointed jewel softly set | D |
| In clouds of colour warmer deeper yet | D |
| Crimson and gold and rose and amethyst | C |
| Toward dayset where the journeying sun grown old | E |
| Hangs lowly westward darker now than gold | E |
| With the soft sun touch of the yellowing hours | F |
| Made lovelier I see with dreaming eyes | G |
| Even as a dream out of a dream arise | G |
| The bell tongued city with its glorious towers | F |
