Night Ray Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH IJKLMMH| Most brightly of all burned the hair of my evening loved one | A |
| to her I send the coffin of lightest wood | B |
| Waves billow round it as round the bed of our dream in Rome | C |
| it wears a white wig as I do and speaks hoarsely | D |
| it talks as I do when I grant admittance to hearts | E |
| It knows a French song about love I sang it in autumn | F |
| when I stopped as a tourist in Lateland and wrote my letters | G |
| to morning | H |
| - | |
| A fine boat is that coffin carved in the coppice of feelings | I |
| I too drift in it downbloodstream younger still than your eye | J |
| Now you are young as a bird dropped dead in March snow | K |
| now it comes to you sings you its love song from France | L |
| You are light you will sleep through my spring till it's over | M |
| I am lighter | M |
| in front of strangers I sing | H |
