The Flash At Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCCBDD EEFGGFHH| The flash at midnight 'twas a light | A |
| That gave the blind a moment's sight | A |
| Then sank in tenfold gloom | B |
| Loud deep and long the thunder broke | C |
| The deaf ear instantly awoke | C |
| Then closed as in the tomb | B |
| An angel might have passed my bed | D |
| Sounded the trump of God and fled | D |
| - | |
| So life appears a sudden birth | E |
| A glance revealing heaven and earth | E |
| It is and it is not | F |
| So fame the poet's hope deceives | G |
| Who sings for after time and leaves | G |
| A name to be forgot | F |
| Life is a lightning flash of breath | H |
| Fame but a thunder clap at death | H |
