Midnight Thoughts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF| In silent hours of midnight while earth is wrapped in dreams | A |
| I ponder o'er my present life how desolate it seems | A |
| Through wakeful hours I scan each page penned in despair and grief | B |
| Then turn to my loved childhood's home for comfort and relief | B |
| - | |
| A cottage white was standing there among the grand old hills | C |
| And 'midst the spreading shady trees were songs of laughing rills | C |
| In that dear home my parents lived my brothers large and small | D |
| With uncles aunts and cousins near and I the pet of all | D |
| - | |
| But listen 'tis my childrens' call I hear their plaintive prayer | E |
| In fancy now I press soft cheeks and fondly stroke fair hair | E |
| Wide seas may roll between us yet my darlings will life brave | F |
| Perchance be folded to my heart or kiss their mother's grave | F |
