The Last Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECEDI dreamed a dream I stood upon a height | A |
A mountain's utmost eminence of snow | B |
Beholding ashen plains outflung below | B |
To a far sea horizon dim and white | A |
Beneath the spectral sun's expiring light | A |
The world lay shrouded in a deathly glow | B |
Its last fear laden voice a wind came low | B |
The distant sea lay hushed as with affright | A |
- | |
I watched until the pale and flickering sun | C |
In agony and fierce despair flamed high | D |
And shadow slain went out upon the gloom | E |
Then Night that war of gulf born Titans won | C |
Impended for a breath on wings of doom | E |
And through the air fell like a falling sky | D |
