Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EEFG HIJK LMLN| Clocks belled twelve Main street showed otherwise | A |
| Than its suburb of woods nimbus | B |
| Lit but unpeopled held its windows | C |
| Of wedding pastries | D |

| Diamond rings potted roses fox skins | E |
| Ruddy on the wax mannequins | E |
| In a glassed tableau of affluence | F |
| From deep sunk basements | G |

| What moved the pale raptorial owl | H |
| Then to squall above the level | I |
| Of streetlights and wires its wall to wall | J |
| Wingspread in control | K |
| - | |
| Of the ferrying currents belly | L |
| Dense feathered fearfully soft to | M |
| Look upon Rats' teeth gut the city | L |
| Shaken by owl cry | N |
