Hooded Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEAFGHIHJAHA| At night toward dawn all the lights of the shore have died | A |
| And the wind moves Moves in the dark | B |
| The sleeping power of the ocean no more beastlike than manlike | B |
| Not to be compared itself and itself | C |
| Its breath blown shoreward huddles the world with a fog no stars | D |
| Dance in heaven no ship's light glances | E |
| I see the heavy granite bodies of the rocks of the headland | A |
| That were ancient here before Egypt had pyramids | F |
| Bulk on the gray of the sky and beyond them the jets of young trees | G |
| I planted the year of the Versailles peace | H |
| But here is the final unridiculous peace Before the first man | I |
| Here were the stones the ocean the cypresses | H |
| And the pallid region in the stone rough dome of fog where the moon | J |
| Falls on the west Here is reality | A |
| The other is a spectral episode after the inquisitive animal's | H |
| Amusements are quiet the dark glory | A |
