London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBBB BDEDF DGHIJJ| Athwart the sky a lowly sigh | A |
| From west to east the sweet wind carried | B |
| The sun stood still on Primrose Hill | C |
| His light in all the city tarried | B |
| The clouds on viewless columns bloomed | B |
| Like smouldering lilies unconsumed | B |
| - | |
| 'Oh sweetheart see how shadowy | B |
| Of some occult magician's rearing | D |
| Or swung in space of heaven's grace | E |
| Dissolving dimly reappearing | D |
| Afloat upon ethereal tides | F |
| St Paul's above the city rides ' | - |
| - | |
| A rumour broke through the thin smoke | D |
| Enwreathing abbey tower and palace | G |
| The parks the squares the thoroughfares | H |
| The million peopled lanes and alleys | I |
| An ever muttering prisoned storm | J |
| The heart of London beating warm | J |
