Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDEEDDBCFCCCCGG CGCCCCHHICCJI| Out of the East as from an unknown shore | A |
| Thou comest with thy children in thine arms | B |
| Slumber and Dream whom mortals all adore | A |
| Their flowing raiment sculptured to their charms | B |
| Soft on thy breast thy lovely children rest | C |
| Laid like twin roses in one balmy nest | C |
| Silent thou comest swiftly too and slow | D |
| There is no other presence like to thine | E |
| When thou approachest with thy babes divine | E |
| Thy shadowy face above them bending low | D |
| Blowing the ringlets from their brows of snow | D |
| Oft have I taken Sleep from thy dark arms | B |
| And fondled her fair head with poppies wreathed | C |
| Within my bosom's depths until its storms | F |
| With her were hushed and I but faintly breathed | C |
| And then her sister Dream with frolic art | C |
| Arose from rest and on my sleeping heart | C |
| Blew bubbles of dreams where elfin worlds were lost | C |
| Worlds where my stranger soul sang songs to me | G |
| And talked with spirits by a rainbowed sea | G |
| Or smiled an unfamiliar shape of frost | C |
| Floating on gales of breathless melody | G |
| Day comes to us in garish glory garbed | C |
| But thou thou bringest to the tired heart | C |
| Rest and deep silence in which are absorbed | C |
| All the vain tumults of the mind and mart | C |
| Whether thou comest with hands full of stars | H |
| Or clothed in storm and clouds the lightning bars | H |
| Rolling the thunder like some mighty dress | I |
| God moves with thee we seem to hear His feet | C |
| Wind like along the floors of Heaven beat | C |
| To see His face revealed in awfulness | J |
| Through thee O Night to ban us or to bless | I |
