The Lights Of London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCDC| The evenfall so slow on hills hath shot | A |
| Far down into the valley's cold extreme | B |
| Untimely midnight spire and roof and stream | B |
| Like fleeing spectres shudder and are not | A |
| The Hampstead hollies from their sylvan plot | A |
| Yet cloudless lean to watch as in a dream | B |
| From chaos climb with many a sudden gleam | B |
| London one moment fallen and forgot | A |
| - | |
| Her booths begin to flare and gases bright | C |
| Prick door and window all her streets obscure | D |
| Sparkle and swarm with nothing true or sure | D |
| Full as a marsh of mist and winking light | C |
| Heaven thickens over Heaven that cannot cure | D |
| Her tear by day her fevered smile by night | C |
