Nocturne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAAAB CBCCCB DADDDA EBEEEB FGFFFH CACCCA| A disc of violet blue | A |
| Rimmed with a thorn of fire | B |
| The new moon hangs in a sky of dew | A |
| And under the vines where the sunset's hue | A |
| Is blent with blossoms first one then two | A |
| Begins the cricket's choir | B |
| - | |
| Bright blurs of golden white | C |
| And points of silvery glimmer | B |
| The first stars wink in the web of night | C |
| And through the flowers the moths take flight | C |
| In the honeysuckle colored light | C |
| Where the shadowy shrubs grow dimmer | B |
| - | |
| Soft through the dim and dying eve | D |
| Sweet through the dusk and dew | A |
| Come while the hours their witchcraft weave | D |
| Dim in the House of the Soul's Sweet Leave | D |
| Here in the pale and perfumed eve | D |
| Here where I wait for you | A |
| - | |
| A great dark radiant rose | E |
| Dripping with starry glower | B |
| Is the night whose bosom overflows | E |
| With the balsam musk of the breeze that blows | E |
| Into the heart as each one knows | E |
| Of every nodding flower | B |
| - | |
| A voice that sighs and sighs | F |
| Then whispers like a spirit | G |
| Is the wind that kisses the drowsy eyes | F |
| Of the primrose open and rocking lies | F |
| In the lily's cradle and soft unties | F |
| The rosebud's crimson near it | H |
| - | |
| Sweet through the deep and dreaming night | C |
| Soft through the dark and dew | A |
| Come where the moments their magic write | C |
| Deep in the Book of the Heart's Delight | C |
| Here in the hushed and haunted night | C |
| Here where I wait for you | A |
