Premonition Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAA ACACAA ADADAA ACACAA| Dear heart good night | A |
| Nay list awhile that sweet voice singing | B |
| When the world is all so bright | A |
| And the sound of song sets the heart a ringing | B |
| Oh love it is not right | A |
| Not then to say Good night | A |
| - | |
| Dear heart good night | A |
| The late winds in the lake weeds shiver | C |
| And the spray flies cold and white | A |
| And the voice that sings gives a telltale quiver | C |
| Ah yes the world is bright | A |
| But dearest heart good night | A |
| - | |
| Dear heart good night | A |
| And do not longer seek to hold me | D |
| For my soul is in affright | A |
| As the fearful glooms in their pall enfold me | D |
| See him who sang how white | A |
| And still so dear good night | A |
| - | |
| Dear heart good night | A |
| Thy hand I 'll press no more forever | C |
| And mine eyes shall lose the light | A |
| For the great white wraith by the winding river | C |
| Shall check my steps with might | A |
| So dear good night good night | A |
