Nightfall In Dordrecht Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGDGD AHAHEDED IJIJCDCD| The mill goes toiling slowly around | A |
| With steady and solemn creak | B |
| And my little one hears in the kindly sound | A |
| The voice of the old mill speak | B |
| While round and round those big white wings | C |
| Grimly and ghostlike creep | D |
| My little one hears that the old mill sings | C |
| Sleep little tulip sleep | D |
| - | |
| The sails are reefed and the nets are drawn | E |
| And over his pot of beer | F |
| The fisher against the morrow s dawn | E |
| Lustily maketh cheer | F |
| He mocks at the winds that caper along | G |
| From the far off clamorous deep | D |
| But we we love their lullaby song | G |
| Of Sleep little tulip sleep | D |
| - | |
| Old dog Fritz in slumber sound | A |
| Groans of the stony mart | H |
| To morrow how proudly he ll trot you round | A |
| Hitched to our new milk cart | H |
| And you shall help me blanket the kine | E |
| And fold the gentle sheep | D |
| And set the herring a soak in brine | E |
| But now little tulip sleep | D |
| - | |
| A Dream One comes to button the eyes | I |
| That wearily droop and blink | J |
| While the old mill buffets the frowning skies | I |
| And scolds at the stars that wink | J |
| Over your face the misty wings | C |
| Of that beautiful Dream One sweep | D |
| And rocking your cradle she softly sings | C |
| Sleep little tulip sleep | D |
