Good-night! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEF GGGGGGHHIJJG GGKLGGMMGGGG| Good night Now dwindle wan and low | A |
| The embers of the afterglow | A |
| And slowly over leaf and lawn | B |
| Is twilight's dewy curtain drawn | B |
| The slouching vixen leaves her lair | C |
| And prowling sniffs the tell tale air | C |
| The frogs croak louder in the dyke | D |
| And all the trees seem dark alike | D |
| The bee is drowsing in the comb | E |
| The sharded beetle hath gone home | E |
| Good night | F |
| - | |
| Good night The hawk is in his nest | G |
| And the last rook hath dropped to rest | G |
| There is no hum no chirp no bleat | G |
| No rustle in the meadow sweet | G |
| The woodbine somewhere out of sight | G |
| Sweetens the loneliness of night | G |
| The Sister Stars that once were seven | H |
| Mourn for their missing mate in Heaven | H |
| The poppy's fair frail petals close | I |
| The lily yet more languid grows | J |
| And dewy dreamy droops the rose | J |
| Good night | G |
| - | |
| Good night Caressing and caressed | G |
| The moist babe warms its mother's breast | G |
| Silent are rustic loom and lathe | K |
| The scythe lies quiet as the swathe | L |
| The woodreeve blinks in covert shed | G |
| The weary yokel is abed | G |
| The covey warm beneath the wing | M |
| And sleep enfoldeth everything | M |
| Forsaken love its last tear shed | G |
| On the lone pillow lays its head | G |
| And all our woes are respited | G |
| Good night | G |
