Lights Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC ECFEFC| When we come home at night and close the door | A |
| Standing together in the shadowy room | B |
| Safe in our own love and the gentle gloom | B |
| Glad of familiar wall and chair and floor | A |
| - | |
| Glad to leave far below the clanging city | C |
| Looking far downward to the glaring street | D |
| Gaudy with light yet tired with many feet | D |
| In both of us wells up a wordless pity | C |
| - | |
| Men have tried hard to put away the dark | E |
| A million lighted windows brilliantly | C |
| Inlay with squares of gold the winter night | F |
| But to us standing here there comes the stark | E |
| Sense of the lives behind each yellow light | F |
| And not one wholly joyous proud or free | C |
