A June Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFDEF GHIGHJ KCLKCL MGNMGN IOPIOP| Ten o'clock the broken moon | A |
| Hangs not yet a half hour high | B |
| Yellow as a shield of brass | C |
| In the dewy air of June | A |
| Poised between the vaulted sky | B |
| And the ocean's liquid glass | C |
| - | |
| Earth lies in the shadow still | D |
| Low black bushes trees and lawn | E |
| Night's ambrosial dews absorb | F |
| Through the foliage creeps a thrill | D |
| Whispering of yon spectral dawn | E |
| And the hidden climbing orb | F |
| - | |
| Higher higher gathering light | G |
| Veiling with a golden gauze | H |
| All the trembling atmosphere | I |
| See the rayless disk grows white | G |
| Hark the glittering billows pause | H |
| Faint far sounds possess the ear | J |
| - | |
| Elves on such a night as this | K |
| Spin their rings upon the grass | C |
| On the beach the water fay | L |
| Greets her lover with a kiss | K |
| Through the air swift spirits pass | C |
| Laugh caress and float away | L |
| - | |
| Shut thy lids and thou shalt see | M |
| Angel faces wreathed with light | G |
| Mystic forms long vanished hence | N |
| Ah too fine too rare they be | M |
| For the grosser mortal sight | G |
| And they foil our waking sense | N |
| - | |
| Yet we feel them floating near | I |
| Know that we are not alone | O |
| Though our open eyes behold | P |
| Nothing save the moon's bright sphere | I |
| In the vacant heavens shown | O |
| And the ocean's path of gold | P |
