Day And Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| NIGHT ambushed in the darkling wood | A |
| Waited to seize the sleeping field | B |
| His sentinels the pine trees stood | A |
| Till the sun fell beneath his shield | B |
| Then when the day at last was dead | C |
| Night in his might marched conquering | D |
| Across the land his banner spread | C |
| And reigned as victor and as King | D |
| - | |
| - | |
| And you and I all days apart | E |
| Rejoiced to see Night's victory | F |
| Because he has a kindlier heart | E |
| Than Day wears with his sovereignty | F |
| Day keeps us prisoned close but Night | G |
| Lifts off Day's chains and all night through | H |
| You dream of me my life's delight | G |
| And all night through I dream of you | H |
