Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFAAGGAAHH IJ| I come like Oblivion to sweep away | A |
| The scattered beams from the car of day | A |
| The gems which the evening has lavishly strown | B |
| Light up the lamps round my ebon throne | B |
| Slowly I float through the realms of space | C |
| Casting my mantle o'er Nature's face | C |
| Weaving the stars in my raven hair | D |
| As I sail through the shadowy fields of air | D |
| All the wild fancies that thought can bring | E |
| Lie hid in the folds of my sable wing | E |
| Terror is mine with his phrensied crew | F |
| Fear with her cheek of marble hue | F |
| And sorrow that shuns the eye of day | A |
| Pours out to me her plaintive lay | A |
| I am the type of that awful gloom | G |
| Which involves the cradle and wraps the tomb | G |
| Chilling the soul with its mystical sway | A |
| Chasing the day dreams of beauty away | A |
| Till man views the banner by me unfurled | H |
| As the awful veil of the unknown world | H |
| The emblem of all he fears beneath | I |
| The solemn garb of the spoiler death | J |
