Sunday Chimes In The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CCBDDB| Across the bridge where in the morning blow | A |
| The wrinkled tide turns homeward and is fain | B |
| Homeward to drag the balck sea goer's chain | B |
| And the long yards by Dowgate dipping low | A |
| Across dispeopled ways patient and slow | A |
| Saint Magnus and Saint Dunstan call in vain | B |
| From Wren's forgotten belfries in the rain | B |
| Down the blank wharves the dropping octaves go | A |
| - | |
| Forbid not these Tho' no man heed they shower | C |
| A subtle beauty on the empty hour | C |
| From all their dark throats aching and outblown | B |
| Aye in the prayerless places welcome most | D |
| Like the last gull that up a naked coast | D |
| Deploys her white and steady wing alone | B |
