Constantinople - Yanghin Var* Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCA DEFD GHHG AAAA IJJI AKKA A| As the baying of wolves from afar | A |
| Borne on the wind from the Golden Horn | B |
| A cry in the distance long drawn | C |
| Yanghin var yanghin var | A |
| - | |
| Suddenly waking the silent night | D |
| Suddenly breaking the sleeping calm | E |
| The long far wailing alarm | F |
| And the watch tower startles a warning light | D |
| - | |
| As a torch passed from hand to hand | G |
| As a beacon springing from hill to hill | H |
| The cry draws nearer though distant still | H |
| And the watch throws it on from stand to stand | G |
| - | |
| And the voices rise as a tempest far | A |
| As the swell of waves on a rocky shore | A |
| Each rumbles louder than before | A |
| Yanghin var yanghin var | A |
| - | |
| And as the angel's unpausing feet | I |
| The angel bearing the wrath of the Lord | J |
| The angel bearing the flaming sword | J |
| The voice passes onward below in the street | I |
| - | |
| Faintly it travels again from afar | A |
| And as an echo of terror past | K |
| The wind from the Bosphorus bears the last | K |
| Yanghin var | A |
| - | |
| Fire | A |
