Remorse. (from August Von Platen) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB ACAAAC ADAAAD ACAAAC| How I started up in the night in the night | A |
| Drawn on without rest or reprieval | B |
| The streets with their watchmen were lost to my sight | A |
| As I wandered so light | A |
| In the night in the night | A |
| Through the gate with the arch mediaeval | B |
| - | |
| The mill brook rushed from the rocky height | A |
| I leaned o'er the bridge in my yearning | C |
| Deep under me watched I the waves in their flight | A |
| As they glided so light | A |
| In the night in the night | A |
| Yet backward not one was returning | C |
| - | |
| O'erhead were revolving so countless and bright | A |
| The stars in melodious existence | D |
| And with them the moon more serenely bedight | A |
| They sparkled so light | A |
| In the night in the night | A |
| Through the magical measureless distance | D |
| - | |
| And upward I gazed in the night in the night | A |
| And again on the waves in their fleeting | C |
| Ah woe thou hast wasted thy days in delight | A |
| Now silence thou light | A |
| In the night in the night | A |
| The remorse in thy heart that is beating | C |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
