The Songs Of Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EBEBFGHG IJIJKLKL MNMNOBOB| The 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 |
