Piccadilly Circus At Night: Street-walkers Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC DEDE FEGE| When into the night the yellow light is roused like dust above the towns | A |
| Or like a mist the moon has kissed from off a pool in the midst of the downs | A |
| - | |
| Our faces flower for a little hour pale and uncertain along the street | B |
| Daisies that waken all mistaken white spread in expectancy to meet | B |
| - | |
| The luminous mist which the poor things wist was dawn arriving across the sky | C |
| When dawn is far behind the star the dust lit town has driven so high | C |
| - | |
| All the birds are folded in a silent ball of sleep | D |
| All the flowers are faded from the asphalt isle in the sea | E |
| Only we hard faced creatures go round and round and keep | D |
| The shores of this innermost ocean alive and illusory | E |
| - | |
| Wanton sparrows that twittered when morning looked in at their eyes | F |
| And the Cyprian's pavement roses are gone and now it is we | E |
| Flowers of illusion who shine in our gauds make a Paradise | G |
| On the shores of this ceaseless ocean gay birds of the town dark sea | E |
