The Lights Of London Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCDCThe 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 |
