The Red Sunsets I, 1883 Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA AAAAAA| The twilight heavens are flushed with gathering light | A |
| And o'er wet roofs and huddling streets below | B |
| Hang with a strange Apocalyptic glow | B |
| On the black fringes of the wintry night | A |
| Such bursts of glory may have rapt the sight | A |
| Of him to whom on Patmos long ago | B |
| The visionary angel came to show | B |
| That heavenly city built of chrysolite | A |
| - | |
| And lo three factory hands begrimed with soot | A |
| Aflame with the red splendour marvelling stand | A |
| And gaze with lifted faces awed and mute | A |
| Starved of earth's beauty by Man's grudging hand | A |
| O toilers robbed of labour's golden fruit | A |
| Ye too may feast in Nature's fairyland | A |
