Twilight At The Heights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF

The brave young city by the Balboa seasA
Lies compassed about by the hosts of nightB
Lies humming low like a hive of beesA
And the day lies dead And its spirit's flightB
Is far to the west while the golden barsC
That bound it are broken to a dust of starsC
-
Come under my oaks oh drowsy duskD
The wolf and the dog dear incense hourE
When Mother Earth hath a smell of muskD
And things of the spirit assert their powerE
When candles are set to burn in the westF
Set head and foot to the day at restF
