With The Lark Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCC DDEECC FFGGCC| Night is for sorrow and dawn is for joy | A |
| Chasing the troubles that fret and annoy | A |
| Darkness for sighing and daylight for song | B |
| Cheery and chaste the strain heartfelt and strong | B |
| All the night through though I moan in the dark | C |
| I wake in the morning to sing with the lark | C |
| - | |
| Deep in the midnight the rain whips the leaves | D |
| Softly and sadly the wood spirit grieves | D |
| But when the first hue of dawn tints the sky | E |
| I shall shake out my wings like the birds and be dry | E |
| And though like the rain drops I grieved through the dark | C |
| I shall wake in the morning to sing with the lark | C |
| - | |
| On the high hills of heaven some morning to be | F |
| Where the rain shall not grieve thro' the leaves of the tree | F |
| There my heart will be glad for the pain I have known | G |
| For my hand will be clasped in the hand of mine own | G |
| And though life has been hard and death's pathway been dark | C |
| I shall wake in the morning to sing with the lark | C |
