Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEFDG| Into the darkness and the hush of night | A |
| Slowly the landscape sinks and fades away | B |
| And with it fade the phantoms of the day | B |
| The ghosts of men and things that haunt the light | A |
| The crowd the clamor the pursuit the flight | A |
| The unprofitable splendor and display | B |
| The agitations and the cares that prey | B |
| Upon our hearts all vanish out of sight | A |
| The better life begins the world no more | C |
| Molests us all its records we erase | D |
| From the dull common place book of our lives | E |
| That like a palimpsest is written o'er | F |
| With trivial incidents of time and place | D |
| And lo the ideal hidden beneath revives | G |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
