The Night Wind Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFEEFGCHAAA IJIJKLKKLMCHAAA NINIHOHHOJCPAAAHave you ever heard the wind go Yooooo | A |
'T is a pitiful sound to hear | B |
It seems to chill you through and through | C |
With a strange and speechless fear | D |
'T is the voice of the night that broods outside | E |
When folk should be asleep | F |
And many and many's the time I've cried | E |
To the darkness brooding far and wide | E |
Over the land and the deep | F |
Whom do you want O lonely night | G |
That you wail the long hours through | C |
And the night would say in its ghostly way | H |
Yoooooooo | A |
Yoooooooo | A |
Yoooooooo | A |

My mother told me long ago | I |
When I was a little tad | J |
That when the night went wailing so | I |
Somebody had been bad | J |
And then when I was snug in bed | K |
Whither I had been sent | L |
With the blankets pulled up round my head | K |
I'd think of what my mother'd said | K |
And wonder what boy she meant | L |
And Who's been bad to day I'd ask | M |
Of the wind that hoarsely blew | C |
And the voice would say in its meaningful way | H |
Yoooooooo | A |
Yoooooooo | A |
Yoooooooo | A |
- | |
That this was true I must allow | N |
You'll not believe it though | I |
Yes though I'm quite a model now | N |
I was not always so | I |
And if you doubt what things I say | H |
Suppose you make the test | O |
Suppose when you've been bad some day | H |
And up to bed are sent away | H |
From mother and the rest | O |
Suppose you ask Who has been bad | J |
And then you'll hear what's true | C |
For the wind will moan in its ruefulest tone | P |
Yoooooooo | A |
Yoooooooo | A |
Yoooooooo | A |
