A Night Attack Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEFDEGGHII| Be still The bleeding night is in suspense | A |
| Of watchful agony and coloured thought | B |
| And every beating vein and trembling sense | A |
| Long tired with time is pitched and overwrought | B |
| And for the eye | C |
| The darkness holds strange forms | D |
| Soft movements in the leaves and wicked glows | E |
| That wait and peer The whole black landscape | F |
| swarms | D |
| With shapes of white and grey that no one knows | E |
| And for the ear a sound a pause a breath | G |
| The hand has touched the slimy face of death | G |
| The mind is raking at the ragged past | H |
| A sound of rifles rattles from the south | I |
| and startled orders move from mouth to mouth | I |
