Talk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGG| Tobacco smoke drifts up to the dim ceiling | A |
| From half a dozen pipes and cigarettes | B |
| Curling in endless shapes in blue rings wheeling | A |
| As formless as our talk Phil drawling bets | B |
| Cornell will win the relay in a walk | C |
| While Bob and Mac discuss the Giants' chances | D |
| Deep in a morris chair Bill scowls at Falk | C |
| John gives large views about the last few dances | D |
| - | |
| And so it goes an idle speech and aimless | E |
| A few chance phrases yet I see behind | F |
| The empty words the gleam of a beauty tameless | E |
| Friendship and peace and fire to strike men blind | F |
| Till the whole world seems small and bright to hold | G |
| Of all our youth this hour is pure gold | G |
