Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF FGFG HIHI| A pale enchanted moon is sinking low | A |
| Behind the dunes that fringe the shadowy lea | B |
| And there is haunted starlight on the flow | A |
| Of immemorial sea | B |
| - | |
| I am alone and need no more pretend | C |
| Laughter or smile to hide a hungry heart | D |
| I walk with solitude as with a friend | C |
| Enfolded and apart | D |
| - | |
| We tread an eerie road across the moor | E |
| Where shadows weave upon their ghostly looms | F |
| And winds sing an old lyric that might lure | E |
| Sad queens from ancient tombs | F |
| - | |
| I am a sister to the loveliness | F |
| Of cool far hill and long remembered shore | G |
| Finding in it a sweet forgetfulness | F |
| Of all that hurt before | G |
| - | |
| The world of day its bitterness and cark | H |
| No longer have the power to make me weep | I |
| I welcome this communion of the dark | H |
| As toilers welcome sleep | I |
