Nightfall In The City Of Hyderabad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AA BB CC BB BB BB CC

SEE how the speckled sky burns like a pigeon's throatA
Jewelled with embers of opal and peridoteA
-
-
See the white river that flashes and scintillatesB
Curved like a tusk from the mouth of the city gatesB
-
-
Hark from the minaret how the muezzin's callC
Floats like a battle flag over the city wallC
-
-
From trellised balconies languid and luminousB
Faces gleam veiled in a splendour voluminousB
-
-
Leisurely elephants wind through the winding lanesB
Swinging their silver bells hung from their silver chainsB
-
-
Round the high Char Minar sounds of gay cavalcadesB
Blend with the music of cymbals and serenadesB
-
-
Over the city bridge Night comes majesticalC
Borne like a queen to a sumptuous festivalC
