Night (ii) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEDEFFDDDDG HHDIGIJHHJK K| I know a little Druid wood | A |
| Where I would slumber if I could | A |
| And have the murmuring of the stream | B |
| To mingle with a midnight dream | B |
| And have the holy hazel trees | C |
| To play above me in the breeze | C |
| And smell the thorny eglantine | D |
| For there the white owls all night long | E |
| In the scented gloom divine | D |
| Hear the wild strange tuneless song | E |
| Of faerie voices thin and high | F |
| As the bat's unearthly cry | F |
| And the measure of their shoon | D |
| Dancing dancing under the moon | D |
| Until amid the pale of dawn | D |
| The wandering stars begin to swoon | D |
| Ah leave the world and come away | G |
| - | |
| The windy folk are in the glade | H |
| And men have seen their revels laid | H |
| In secret on some flowery lawn | D |
| Underneath the beechen covers | I |
| Kings of old I've heard them say | G |
| Here have found them faerie lovers | I |
| That charmed them out of life and kissed | J |
| Their lips with cold lips unafraid | H |
| And such a spell around them made | H |
| That they have passed beyond the mist | J |
| And found the Country under wave | K |
| - | |
| Kings of old whom none could save | K |
