The Morning Watch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHI| 'Tis near the morning watch the dim lamp burns | A |
| But scarcely shows how dark the slumbering street | B |
| No sound of life the silent mart returns | A |
| No friends from house to house their neighbors greet | B |
| It is the sleep of death a deeper sleep | C |
| Than e'er before on mortal eyelids fell | D |
| No stars above the gloom their places keep | C |
| No faithful watchmen of the morning tell | D |
| Yet still they slumber on though rising day | E |
| Hath through their windows poured the awakening light | F |
| Or turning in their sluggard trances say | E |
| 'There yet are many hours to fill the night ' | G |
| They rise not yet while on the bridegroom goes | H |
| 'Till he the day's bright gates forever on them close | I |
