Venetian Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDDEEBCFFGGAAHH| Her eyes in the darkness shone in the twilight shed | A |
| By the gondola bent like the darkness over her head | A |
| Softly the gondola rocked lights came and went | B |
| A white glove shone as her black fan lifted and leant | C |
| Where the silk of her dress the blue of a bittern's wing | D |
| Rustled against my knee and murmuring | D |
| The sweet slow hesitant English of a child | E |
| Her voice was articulate laughter her soul smiled | E |
| Softly the gondola rocked lights came and went | B |
| From the sleeping houses a shadow of slumber leant | C |
| Over our heads like a wing and the dim lagoon | F |
| Rustling with silence slumbered under the moon | F |
| Softly the gondola rocked and a pale light came | G |
| Over the waters mild as a silver flame | G |
| She lay back thrilling with smiles in the twilight shed | A |
| By the gondola bend like the darkness over her head | A |
| I saw her eyes shine subtly then close awhile | H |
| I remember her silence and in the night her smile | H |
