Impression De Nuit ( London ) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECED| See what a mass of gems the city wears | A |
| Upon her broad live bosom row on row | B |
| Rubies and emeralds and amethysts glow | B |
| See that huge circle like a necklace stares | A |
| With thousands of bold eyes to heaven and dares | A |
| The golden stars to dim the lamps below | B |
| And in the mirror of the mire I know | B |
| The moon has left her image unawares | A |
| - | |
| That's the great town at night I see her breasts | C |
| Pricked out with lamps they stand like huge black towers | D |
| I think they move I hear her panting breath | E |
| And that's her head where the tiara rests | C |
| And in her brain through lanes as dark as death | E |
| Men creep like thoughts The lamps are like pale flowers | D |
