The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCABBB DEFEDF| When sick of all the sorrow and distress | A |
| That flourished in the City like foul weeds | B |
| I sought blue rivers and green opulent meads | B |
| And leagues of unregarded loneliness | C |
| Whereon no foot of man had seemed to press | A |
| I did not know how great had been my needs | B |
| How wise the woodland's gospels and her creeds | B |
| How good her faith to one long comfortless | B |
| - | |
| But in the silence came a Voice to me | D |
| In every wind it murmured and I knew | E |
| It would not cease though far my heart might roam | F |
| It called me in the sunrise and the dew | E |
| At noon and twilight sadly hungrily | D |
| The jealous City whispering always Home | F |
