New Year's Eve Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAA CCADE FDEF| WE stand above the abyss beneath our feet | A |
| Around and onward infinite darkness rolls | B |
| The sky above is black the watch bell tolls | B |
| The dying year While slow in silent feet | A |
| Pale ghosts come towards us from the ice locked street | A |
| - | |
| Of thought's great city faces young and old | C |
| Eyes sunken features set and deathly cold | C |
| And noiseless bear the dead year's winding sheet | A |
| But lo where now we stand is worn with tread | D |
| Of millions in the darkness feel the ground | E |
| - | |
| Is dust of powdered bones sure on this peak | F |
| The years have died and millions of the dead | D |
| Have waited vainly through the gloom profound | E |
| For dawn of day or trumpet voice to speak | F |
