Manchester By Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCCBBC DEDFDE| O'er this huge town rife with intestine wars | A |
| Whence as from monstrous sacrificial shrines | B |
| Pillars of smoke climb heavenward Night inclines | B |
| Black brows majestical with glimmering stars | C |
| Her dewy silence soothes life's angry jars | C |
| And like a mother's wan white face who pines | B |
| Above her children's turbulent ways so shines | B |
| The moon athwart the narrow cloudy bars | C |
| - | |
| Now toiling multitudes that hustling crush | D |
| Each other in the fateful strife for breath | E |
| And hounded on by diverse hungers rush | D |
| Across the prostrate ones that groan beneath | F |
| Are swathed within the universal hush | D |
| As life exchanges semblances with death | E |
