Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA CDCD EFEF EGEG FHFH| Hark how the tremulous night wind is passing in joy laden sighs | A |
| Soft through my window it comes like the fanning of pinions angelic | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Whispering to cease from myself and look out on the infinite skies | A |
| - | |
| Out on the orb studded night and the crescent effulgence of Dian | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Out on the far gleaming star dust that marks where the angels have trod | D |
| Out on the gem pointed Cross and the glittering pomp of Orion | C |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Flaming in measureless azure the coronal jewels of God | D |
| - | |
| Luminous streams of delight in the silent immensity flowing | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Journeying surgelessly on through impalpable ethers of peace | F |
| How can I think of myself when infinitude o'er me is glowing | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Glowing with tokens of love from the land where my sorrows shall cease | F |
| - | |
| Oh summer night of the South Oh sweet languor of zephyrs love sighing | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Oh mighty circuit of shadowy solitude holy and still | G |
| Music scarce audible echo less harmony joyously dying | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Dying in faint suspirations o'er meadow and forest and hill | G |
| - | |
| I must go forth and be part of it part of the night and its gladness | F |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp But a few steps and I pause on the marge of the shining lagoon | H |
| Here then at length I have rest and I lay down my burden of sadness | F |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp Kneeling alone 'neath the stars and the silvery arc of the moon | H |
