Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEDFGGFHH| Now when dun Night her shadowy veil has spread | A |
| See want and infamy as forth they come | B |
| Lead their wan daughter from her branded home | C |
| To woo the stranger for unhallow'd bread | A |
| Poor outcast o'er thy sickly tinted cheek | D |
| And half clad form what havoc want hath made | E |
| And the sweet lustre of thine eye doth fade | E |
| And all thy soul's sad sorrow seems to speak | D |
| O miserable state compell'd to wear | F |
| The wooing smile as on thy aching breast | G |
| Some wretch reclines who feeling ne'er possess'd | G |
| Thy poor heart bursting with the stifled tear | F |
| Oh GOD OF MERCY bid her woes subside | H |
| And be to her a friend who hath no friend beside | H |
