Two Figures In Dense Violet Light Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEF GHI JKL MNO PBQ

I had as lief be embraced by the portier of the hotelA
As to get no more from the moonlightB
Than your moist handC
-
Be the voice of the night and Florida in my earD
Use dasky words and dusky imagesE
Darken your speechF
-
Speak even as if I did not hear you speakingG
But spoke for you perfectly in my thoughtsH
Conceiving wordsI
-
As the night conceives the sea sound in silenceJ
And out of the droning sibilants makesK
A serenadeL
-
Say puerile that the buzzards crouch on the ridge poleM
and sleep with one eye watching the stars fallN
Beyond Key WestO
-
Say that the palms are clear in the total blueP
Are clear and are obscure that it is nightB
That the moon shinesQ
