A Summer's Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDC| The night is dewy as a maiden's mouth | A |
| The skies are bright as are a maiden's eyes | B |
| Soft as a maiden's breath the wind that flies | B |
| Up from the perfumed bosom of the South | A |
| Like sentinels the pines stand in the park | C |
| And hither hastening like rakes that roam | D |
| With lamps to light their wayward footsteps home | D |
| The fireflies come stagg'ring down the dark | C |
