Twilight At The Heights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFFThe brave young city by the Balboa seas | A |
Lies compassed about by the hosts of night | B |
Lies humming low like a hive of bees | A |
And the day lies dead And its spirit's flight | B |
Is far to the west while the golden bars | C |
That bound it are broken to a dust of stars | C |
- | |
Come under my oaks oh drowsy dusk | D |
The wolf and the dog dear incense hour | E |
When Mother Earth hath a smell of musk | D |
And things of the spirit assert their power | E |
When candles are set to burn in the west | F |
Set head and foot to the day at rest | F |
