Alarm Clocks Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDCDCD| When Dawn strides out to wake a dewy farm | A |
| Across green fields and yellow hills of hay | B |
| The little twittering birds laugh in his way | B |
| And poise triumphant on his shining arm | A |
| He bears a sword of flame but not to harm | A |
| The wakened life that feels his quickening sway | B |
| And barnyard voices shrilling It is day | B |
| Take by his grace a new and alien charm | A |
| - | |
| But in the city like a wounded thing | C |
| That limps to cover from the angry chase | D |
| He steals down streets where sickly arc lights sing | C |
| And wanly mock his young and shameful face | D |
| And tiny gongs with cruel fervor ring | C |
| In many a high and dreary sleeping place | D |
