Manhattan Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGHII IJKLIKDLI IMNOPQDJD| Out of the night you burn Manhattan | A |
| In a vesture of gold | B |
| Span of innumerable arcs | C |
| Flaring and multiplying | D |
| Gold at the uttermost circles fading | D |
| Into the tenderest hint of jade | E |
| Or fusing in tremulous twilight blues | F |
| Robing the far flung offices | G |
| Scintillant storied forking flame | H |
| Or soaring to luminous amethyst | I |
| Over the steeples aureoled | I |
| - | |
| Diaphanous gold | I |
| Veiling the Woolworth argently | J |
| Rising slender and stark | K |
| Mellifluous shrill as a vender's cry | L |
| And towers squatting graven and cold | I |
| On the velvet bales of the dark | K |
| And the Singer's appraising | D |
| Indolent idol's eye | L |
| And night like a purple cloth unrolled | I |
| - | |
| Nebulous gold | I |
| Throwing an ephemeral glory about life's vanishing points | M |
| Wherein you burn | N |
| You of unknown voltage | O |
| Whirling on your axis | P |
| Scrawling vermillion signatures | Q |
| Over the night's velvet hoarding | D |
| Insolent towering spherical | J |
| To apices ever shifting | D |
