The Raid Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDECFGHFIH| Rain and black night Beneath the covered bridge | A |
| The rushing Fork that roars among its rocks | B |
| Nothing is out Nothing What's that which blocks | B |
| The long grey road upon the rain swept ridge | A |
| A horseman No A mask As hewn from jet | C |
| With ready gun he waits and sentinels | D |
| The open way Far off he hears wild bells | E |
| And now a signal shrills through wind and wet | C |
| Was that the thunder or the rushing stream | F |
| The tunnel of the bridge throbs with mad hoofs | G |
| Now its black throat pours out a midnight cloud | H |
| Riders behind whom steadily a gleam | F |
| Grows to a glare that silhouettes dark roofs | I |
| Whence armed Pursuit gathers and gallops loud | H |
