The Lights Of New York Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| The lightning spun your garment for the night | A |
| Of silver filaments with fire shot thru | B |
| A broidery of lamps that lit for you | B |
| The steadfast splendor of enduring light | A |
| The moon drifts dimly in the heaven's height | A |
| Watching with wonder how the earth she knew | B |
| That lay so long wrapped deep in dark and dew | B |
| Should wear upon her breast a star so white | A |
| The festivals of Babylon were dark | C |
| With flaring flambeaux that the wind blew down | D |
| The Saturnalia were a wild boy's lark | C |
| With rain quenched torches dripping thru the town | D |
| But you have found a god and filched from him | E |
| A fire that neither wind nor rain can dim | E |
