Sunset In The City Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABA ACAC DEDF AGHG| Above the town a monstrous wheel is turning | A |
| With glowing spokes of red | B |
| Low in the west its fiery axle burning | A |
| And lost amid the spaces overhead | B |
| A vague white moth the moon is fluttering | A |
| - | |
| Above the town an azure sea is flowing | A |
| 'Mid long peninsulas of shining sand | C |
| From opal unto pearl the moon is growing | A |
| Dropped like a shell upon the changing strand | C |
| - | |
| Within the town the streets grow strange and haunted | D |
| And dark against the western lakes of green | E |
| The buildings change to temples and unwonted | D |
| Shadows and sounds creep in where day has been | F |
| - | |
| Within the town the lamps of sin are flaring | A |
| Poor foolish men that know not what ye are | G |
| Tired traffic still upon his feet is faring | H |
| Two lovers meet and kiss and watch a star | G |
