Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGH EFEF| From where I sit I see the stars | A |
| And down the chilly floor | B |
| The moon between the frozen bars | A |
| Is glimmering dim and hoar | B |
| - | |
| Without in many a peaked mound | C |
| The glinting snowdrifts lie | D |
| There is no voice or living sound | C |
| The embers slowly die | D |
| - | |
| Yet some wild thing is in mine ear | E |
| I hold my breath and hark | F |
| Out of the depth I seem to hear | E |
| A crying in the dark | F |
| - | |
| No sound of man or wife or child | G |
| No sound of beasts that groans | H |
| Or of the wind that whistles wild | G |
| Or of the trees that moans | H |
| - | |
| I know not what it is I hear | E |
| I bend my head and hark | F |
| I cannot drive it from mine ear | E |
| That crying in the dark | F |
