On A Subway Express Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHJ KLKL MNMN OMMM| I who have lost the stars the sod | A |
| For chilling pave and cheerless light | B |
| Have made my meeting place with God | A |
| A new and nether Night | B |
| - | |
| Have found a fane where thunder fills | C |
| Loud caverns tremulous and these | D |
| Atone me for my reverend hills | C |
| And moonlit silences | E |
| - | |
| A figment in the crowded dark | F |
| Where men sit muted by the roar | G |
| I ride upon the whirring Spark | F |
| Beneath the city's floor | G |
| - | |
| In this dim firmament the stars | H |
| Whirl by in blazing files and tiers | I |
| Kin meteors graze our flying bars | H |
| Amid the spinning spheres | J |
| - | |
| Speed speed until the quivering rails | K |
| Flash silver where the head light gleams | L |
| As when on lakes the Moon impales | K |
| The waves upon its beams | L |
| - | |
| Life throbs about me yet I stand | M |
| Outgazing on majestic Power | N |
| Death rides with me on either hand | M |
| In my communion hour | N |
| - | |
| You that 'neath country skies can pray | O |
| Scoff not at me the city clod | M |
| My only respite of the Day | M |
| Is this wild ride with God | M |
