Night In The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB ADED FGHG| The sluggish clouds hang low upon the town | A |
| And from yon lamp in chilled and sodden rays | B |
| The feeble light gropes through the heavy mist | C |
| And dies extinguished in the stagnant maze | B |
| - | |
| From moisty eaves the drops fall slowly down | A |
| To strike with leaden sound the walk below | D |
| And in dark murky pools upon the street | E |
| The water stands as lacking life to flow | D |
| - | |
| With hopeless brain oppressed and sad at heart | F |
| Toil's careworn slave turns out his flickering light | G |
| And treads in dreams his dulling round again | H |
| Where weary day succeeds to dismal night | G |
