Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFEFGGHH CEIJKKDD LMLMEEEE| As some dusk mother shields from all alarms | A |
| The tired child she gathers to her breast | B |
| The brunette Night doth fold me in her arms | A |
| And hushes me to perfect peace and rest | B |
| Her eyes of stars shine on me and I hear | C |
| Her voice of winds low crooning on my ear | C |
| O Night O Night how beautiful thou art | D |
| Come fold me closer to thy pulsing heart | D |
| - | |
| The day is full of gladness and the light | E |
| So beautifies the common outer things | F |
| I only see with my external sight | E |
| And only hear the great world's voice which rings | F |
| But silently from daylight and from din | G |
| The sweet Night draws me whispers Look within | G |
| And looking as one wakened from a dream | H |
| I see what is no longer what doth seem | H |
| - | |
| The Night says Listen and upon my ear | C |
| Revealed as are the visions to my sight | E |
| The voices known as Beautiful come near | I |
| And whisper of the vastly Infinite | J |
| Great blue eyed Truth her sister Purity | K |
| Their brother Honour all converse with me | K |
| And kiss my brow and say Be brave of heart | D |
| O holy three how beautiful thou art | D |
| - | |
| The Night says Child sleep that thou may'st arise | L |
| Strong for to morrow's struggle And I feel | M |
| Her shadowy fingers pressing on my eyes | L |
| Like thistledown I float to the Ideal | M |
| The Slumberland made beautiful and bright | E |
| As death by dreams of loved ones gone from sight | E |
| O food for souls sweet dreams of pure delight | E |
| How beautiful the holy hours of Night | E |
