Sonnet: O City, City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD CECEECTo live between terms to live where death | A |
has his loud picture in the subway ride | B |
Being amid six million souls their breath | A |
An empty song suppressed on every side | B |
Where the sliding auto's catastrophe | C |
Is a gust past the curb where numb and high | D |
The office building rises to its tyranny | C |
Is our anguished diminution until we die | D |
- | |
Whence if ever shall come the actuality | C |
Of a voice speaking the mind's knowing | E |
The sunlight bright on the green windowshade | C |
And the self articulate affectionate and flowing | E |
Ease warmth light the utter showing | E |
When in the white bed all things are made | C |
