Midnight In Camp Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBBD BEBEBFFB CGCGHFFH FIFIJFFJNight in the unslumbering forest From the free | A |
Vast pinelands by the foot of man untrod | B |
Blows the wild wind roaming rejoicingly | C |
This wilderness of God | B |
And the tall firs that all day long have flung | D |
Balsamic odors where the sunshine burned | B |
Chant to its harping primal epics learned | B |
When this old world was young | D |
- | |
Beyond the lake white girdling peaks uplift | B |
Untroubled brows to virgin skies afar | E |
And o'er the uncertain water glimmers drift | B |
Of fitful cloud and star | E |
Sure never day such mystic beauty held | B |
As sylvan midnight here in this surcease | F |
Of toil when the kind darkness gives us peace | F |
Garnered from years of eld | B |
- | |
Lo Hearken to the mountain waterfall | C |
Laughing adown its pathway to the glen | G |
And nearer in the cedars the low call | C |
Of brook to brook again | G |
Voices that garish daytime may not know | H |
Wander at will along the bosky steeps | F |
And silent silver footed moonlight creeps | F |
Through the dim glades below | H |
- | |
Oh it is well to waken with the woods | F |
And feel as those who wait with God alone | I |
The forest's heart in these rare solitudes | F |
Beating against our own | I |
Close shut behind us are the gates of care | J |
Divinity enfolds us prone to bless | F |
And our souls kneel Night in the wilderness | F |
Is one great prayer | J |
