Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFBG HIJD KBLK MNKO PQRSDTU| Curtains drawn back the door ajar | A |
| All winter long it seemed a darkening | B |
| Began But now the moonlight and the odors of the street | C |
| Conspire and combine toward one community | D |

| These are the rooms of Robinson | E |
| Bleached wan and colorless this light as though | F |
| All the blurred daybreaks of the spring | B |
| Found an asylum here perhaps for Robinson alone | G |

| Who sleeps Were there more music sifted through the floors | H |
| And moonlight of a different kind | I |
| He might awake to hear the news at ten | J |
| Which will be shocking moderately | D |

| - | |
| This sleep is from exhaustion but his old desire | K |
| To die like this has known a lessening | B |
| Now there is only this coldness that he has to wear | L |
| But not in sleep Observant scholar traveller | K |
| - | |
| - | |
| Or uncouth bearded figure squatting in a cave | M |
| A keen eyed sniper on the barricades | N |
| A heretic in catacombs a famed rou | K |
| A beggar on the streets the confidant of Popes | O |
| - | |

| All these are Robinson in sleep who mumbles as he turns | P |
| There is something in this madhouse that I symbolize | Q |
| This city nightmare black | R |
| He wakes in sweat | S |
| To the terrible moonlight and what might be | D |
| Silence It drones like wires far beyond the roofs | T |
| And the long curtains blow into the room | U |
