The Night Cometh Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBA AABC AABBACCometh the night The wind falls low | A |
The trees swing slowly to and fro | A |
Around the church the headstones grey | B |
Cluster like children strayed away | B |
But found again and folded so | A |
- | |
No chiding look doth she bestow | A |
If she is glad they cannot know | A |
If ill or well they spend their day | B |
Cometh the night | C |
- | |
Singing or sad intent they go | A |
They do not see the shadows grow | A |
There yet is time they lightly say | B |
Before our work aside we lay | B |
Their task is but half done and lo | A |
Cometh the night | C |
