In The Harbour: Chimes Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Sweet chimes that in the loneliness of night | A |
| Salute the passing hour and in the dark | B |
| And silent chambers of the household mark | B |
| The movements of the myriad orbs of light | A |
| Through my closed eyelids by the inner sight | A |
| I see the constellations in the arc | B |
| Of their great circles moving on and hark | B |
| I almost hear them singing in their flight | A |
| Better than sleep it is to lie awake | C |
| O'er canopied by the vast starry dome | D |
| Of the immeasurable sky to feel | E |
| The slumbering world sink under us and make | C |
| Hardly an eddy a mere rush of foam | D |
| On the great sea beneath a sinking keel | E |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
