A White Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GAGAHHTHE land lay deluged by the Moon | A |
The molten silver of the lake | B |
Shimmered in many a broad lagoon | A |
Between grey isles whose copse and brake | B |
Lay folded on the water's breast | C |
Like halcyons in a floating nest | C |
- | |
And like a child who trusts in God | D |
When in the dark it lies alone | E |
Stretched on the aromatic sod | D |
My heart was laid against your own | E |
Against your heart which seemed to be | F |
Mine own to all Eternity | F |
- | |
Lapped in illimitable light | G |
The woods and waters seemed to swoon | A |
And clouds like angels winged the night | G |
And slipped away into the Moon | A |
Lost in that radiant flame above | H |
As we were lapped and lost in love | H |
