Night-piece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGEFG| Ye hooded witches baleful shapes that moan | A |
| Quench your fantastic lanterns and be still | B |
| For now the moon through heaven sails alone | A |
| Shedding her peaceful rays from hill to hill | B |
| The faun from out his dim and secret place | C |
| Draws nigh the darkling pool and from his dream | D |
| Half wakens seeing there his sylvan face | C |
| Reflected and the wistful eyes that gleam | D |
| - | |
| To his cold lips he sets the pipe to blow | E |
| Some drowsy note that charms the listening air | F |
| The dryads from their trees come down and creep | G |
| Near to his side monotonous and low | E |
| He plays and plays till at the woodside there | F |
| Stirs to the voice of everlasting sleep | G |
