Sunset: St. Louis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGB HIJC DKLM| Hushed in the smoky haze of summer sunset | A |
| When I came home again from far off places | B |
| How many times I saw my western city | C |
| Dream by her river | D |
| - | |
| Then for an hour the water wore a mantle | E |
| Of tawny gold and mauve and misted turquoise | F |
| Under the tall and darkened arches bearing | G |
| Gray high flung bridges | B |
| - | |
| Against the sunset water towers and steeples | H |
| Flickered with fire up the slope to westward | I |
| And old warehouses poured their purple shadows | J |
| Across the levee | C |
| - | |
| High over them the black train swept with thunder | D |
| Cleaving the city leaving far beneath it | K |
| Wharf boats moored beside the old side wheelers | L |
| Resting in twilight | M |
