The Songs Of Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEBFGHG IJIJKLKL MNMNOBOBThe moon swings low in the sky above | A |
And the twinkling stars shine bright | B |
And a mother sings to her baby love | A |
Those wonderful songs of night | B |
Those wonderful songs of sugar plum trees | C |
And the fields where the fairies play | D |
Of cockle shell boats on golden seas | C |
That never are seen by day | D |
- | |
It is by low time and she sweetly hums | E |
Those wonderful songs of night | B |
Of the blare of trumpets and sound of drums | E |
When the little tin soldiers fight | B |
She sings of a comical candy dog | F |
And the gingerbread man who stands | G |
By the side of a blinking cooky frog | H |
Without any arms or hands | G |
- | |
And the moonbeams dance on the parlor floor | I |
And a ship sets out to sea | J |
And a baby sails for the golden shore | I |
In search of the sugar plum tree | J |
She's off to the cave of the Teddy Bear | K |
And the haunts of the fairies kind | L |
Where never an ache or a pain or care | K |
Shall trouble her baby mind | L |
- | |
Oh sweet is the smile on the baby's face | M |
As she softly sinks to rest | N |
For where in the world is so fine a place | M |
To sleep as a mother's breast | N |
And if ever a song can reach the skies | O |
The angels must find delight | B |
In hearing a mother's lullabies | O |
Those wonderful songs of night | B |
