Night-piece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACABDABEFGHIJAAKLA| Night and the heavens beam serene with peace | A |
| Like a pure heart benignly smiles the moon | B |
| Oh guard thy blessed beauty from mischance | A |
| This I beseech thee in all tender love | C |
| See where the Storm his cloudy mantle spreads | A |
| An ashy curtain covereth the moon | B |
| As if the tempest thirsted for the rain | D |
| The clouds he presses till they burst in streams | A |
| Heaven wears a dusky raiment and the moon | B |
| Appeareth dead her tomb is yonder cloud | E |
| And weeping shades come after like the people | F |
| Who mourn with tearful grief a noble queen | G |
| But look the thunder pierced night's close linked mail | H |
| His keen tipped lance of lightning brandishing | I |
| He hovers like a seraph conqueror | J |
| Dazed by the flaming splendor of his wings | A |
| In rapid flight as in a whirling dance | A |
| The black cloud ravens hurry scared away | K |
| So though the powers of darkness chain my soul | L |
| My heart a hero chafes and breaks its bonds | A |
