In The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBCC DDEF| Away from the silent hills and the talking of upland waters | A |
| The high still stars and the lonely moon in her quarters | A |
| I fly to the city the streets the faces the towers | A |
| And I leave behind me the hush and the dews and the flowers | A |
| The mink that steals by the stream a shimmer among the rocks | B |
| The hawk o'er the barn yard sailing the little cub bear and the fox | B |
| The woodchuck and his burrow and the little snake at noon | C |
| And the house of the yellow jacket and the cricket's endless tune | C |
| - | |
| And what shall I find in the city that shall take the place of these | D |
| O I shall find my love there and fall at her silken knees | D |
| And for the moon her breast and for the stars her eyes | E |
| And under her shadowed hair the gardens of Paradise | F |
