Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFDGHIJKLEE| CITY of orgies walks and joys | A |
| City whom that I have lived and sung in your midst will one day make | B |
| you illustrious | C |
| Not the pageants of you not your shifting tableaux your spectacles | D |
| repay me | E |
| Not the interminable rows of your houses nor the ships at the | F |
| wharves | D |
| Nor the processions in the streets nor the bright windows with | G |
| goods in them | H |
| Nor to converse with learn'd persons or bear my share in the soiree | I |
| or feast | J |
| Not those but as I pass O Manhattan your frequent and swift flash | K |
| of eyes offering me love | L |
| Offering response to my own these repay me | E |
| Lovers continual lovers only repay me | E |
