The White City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHH| I will not toy with it nor bend an inch | A |
| Deep in the secret chambers of my heart | B |
| I muse my life long hate and without flinch | A |
| I bear it nobly as I live my part | B |
| My being would be a skeleton a shell | C |
| If this dark Passion that fills my every mood | D |
| And makes my heaven in the white world's hell | C |
| Did not forever feed me vital blood | E |
| I see the mighty city through a mist | F |
| The strident trains that speed the goaded mass | G |
| The poles and spires and towers vapor kissed | F |
| The fortressed port through which the great ships pass | G |
| The tides the wharves the dens I contemplate | H |
| Are sweet like wanton loves because I hate | H |
