The Balcony Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHG| A STREET at night a silent square | A |
| That mirth forbids | B |
| Whose windows with drawn lips and narrowed lids | B |
| Resent the intruder's stare | A |
| - | |
| Where winds are cautious in their play | C |
| Where only steals | D |
| Some meager brougham on its muffled wheels | D |
| Before the portals grey | C |
| - | |
| But suddenly a window swings | E |
| A hand is laid | F |
| For one white moment on the balustrade | F |
| And benediction brings | E |
| - | |
| I linger but O influence malign | G |
| I watch a snail | H |
| Crawl casually along the painted rail | H |
| Where I had built a shrine | G |
