Night And Rain Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJB ILIL M M NOP Q Q RS| The night has set her outposts there | A |
| Of wind and rain | B |
| And to and fro with ragged hair | A |
| At intervals they search the pane | B |
| - | |
| The fir trees creepers redly climb | C |
| That seem to bleed | D |
| Like old conspirators in crime | C |
| Drip whispering of some desperate deed | D |
| - | |
| 'Tis as if wild skirts flying fast | E |
| Besieged the house | F |
| The wittol grass bent to the blast | E |
| Whines as if witches held carouse | G |
| - | |
| And now dark feet steal to the door | H |
| And tap and tip | I |
| Shuffle and then go on once more | H |
| The eaves keep a persistent drip | I |
| - | |
| And then a skurry and a bound | J |
| Wild feet again | K |
| A wind wrenched tree that to the ground | J |
| Sweeps instantly its weight of rain | B |
| - | |
| What is it finger on its lip | I |
| That up and down | L |
| Treads with dark raiment all a drip | I |
| Trailing a tattered leaf of gown | L |
| - | |
| 'O father I am frightened See | M |
| There at the pane ' | - |
| 'Hush hush my child 'tis but a tree | M |
| That tosses in the wind and rain ' | - |
| - | |
| A rumble as it were of hoofs | N |
| And hollow call | O |
| 'O father what rolls on the roofs | P |
| That sounds like some dark funeral ' | - |
| - | |
| 'Hush hush my child it is the storm | Q |
| The autumn wind ' | - |
| 'But father see what is that form | Q |
| There wild against the window blind ' | - |
| - | |
| 'It is the firelight in the room ' | - |
| The father sighed | R |
| And then the child ''Twas dark as doom | S |
| And had the face of her who died ' | - |
