Midnight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCEDE| Unfathomable Night how dost thou sweep | A |
| Over the flooded earth and darkly hide | B |
| The mighty city under thy full tide | B |
| Making a silent palace for old Sleep | A |
| Like his own temple under the hush'd deep | A |
| Where all the busy day he doth abide | B |
| And forth at the late dark outspreadeth wide | B |
| His dusky wings whence the cold waters sweep | A |
| How peacefully the living millions lie | C |
| Lull'd unto death beneath his poppy spells | D |
| There is no breath no living stir no cry | C |
| No tread of foot no song no music call | E |
| Only the sound of melancholy bells | D |
| The voice of Time survivor of them all | E |
