Night. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHIHIJKJL| The wings of Evening spread like phantom sails | A |
| Athwart the waning west | B |
| Now as the last thin streak of crimson fails | A |
| Seem as with sleep possessed | B |
| Now hope is changed to memory and time | C |
| Becomes eternity | D |
| As thought were chaunting to a runic rhyme | C |
| In some old mystery | D |
| The shadows deepen and the Night's weird stir | E |
| Seems like a spirit still | F |
| To tremble in the silence as with her | E |
| Death walked invisible | G |
| The heart can ken e'en like an echo dead | H |
| The eerie things they say | I |
| Who have come from a coast where none may tread | H |
| Within the dream of Day | I |
| Night and her paramour the last of things | J |
| That touch the soul with fear | K |
| As that which deems that it is deathless clings | J |
| To its own shadow here | L |
