Night's Mardi Gras Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Night is the true democracy When day | A |
| Like some great monarch with his train has passed | B |
| In regal pomp and splendor to the last | B |
| The stars troop forth along the Milky Way | A |
| A jostling crowd in radiant disarray | A |
| On heaven's broad boulevard in pageants vast | B |
| And things of earth the hunted and outcast | B |
| Come from their haunts and hiding places yea | A |
| Even from the nooks and crannies of the mind | C |
| Visions uncouth and vagrant fancies start | D |
| And specters of dead joy that shun the light | E |
| And impotent regrets and terrors blind | C |
| Each one in form grotesque playing its part | D |
| In the fantastic Mardi Gras of Night | E |
