Before Dawn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EFFF GFFG| Bleak is the night and long | A |
| While slumber waits apart | B |
| Refusing this lone heart | B |
| These lips forlorn of song | A |
| - | |
| Deep is the night and slow | C |
| Whose gulf obscurely swarms | D |
| Mad somber faceless forms | D |
| Blind masks of bale and woe | C |

| The moon's late risen ray | E |
| Through paling panes is shed | F |
| From dreams uncomforted | F |
| I rouse before the day | F |
| - | |
| Now ere the morning break | G |
| Would that my head found rest | F |
| Upon thy halcyon breast | F |
| To sleep and not to wake | G |
