Darkness Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFGFHF IJKJLJ| WHEN hurrying home on a rainy night | A |
| And hearing tree tops rubbed and tossed | B |
| And seeing never a friendly star | C |
| And feeling your way when paths are crossed | B |
| Stop fast and turn three times around | D |
| And try the logic of the lost | B |

| Where is the heavenly light you dreamed | E |
| Where is your hearth and glowing ash | F |
| Where is your love by the mellow moon | G |
| Here is not even a lightning flash | F |
| And in a place no worse than this | H |
| Lost men shall wail and teeth shall gnash | F |
| - | |

| Lightning is quick and perilous | I |
| The dawn comes on too slow and pale | J |
| Your love brings only a yellow lamp | K |
| Yet of these lights one shall avail | J |
| The dark shall break for one of these | L |
| I've never known this thing to fail | J |
