Fredericksburg Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCECD| The increasing moonlight drifts across my bed | A |
| And on the churchyard by the road I know | B |
| It falls as white and noiselessly as snow | B |
| 'Twas such a night two weary summers fled | A |
| The stars as now were waning overhead | A |
| Listen Again the shrill lipped bugles blow | B |
| Where the swift currents of the river flow | B |
| Past Fredericksburg far off the heavens are red | A |
| With sudden conflagration on yon height | C |
| Linstock in hand the gunners hold their breath | D |
| A signal rocket pierces the dense night | C |
| Flings its spent stars upon the town beneath | E |
| Hark the artillery massing on the right | C |
| Hark the black squadrons wheeling down to Death | D |
