The Balcony Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFE GHHGA 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 |
