When Night Brings The Hour Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFGFHIJI KLKLMNONPQPAHIJI| When night brings the hour | A |
| Of starlight and joy | B |
| There comes to my bower | A |
| A fairy winged boy | B |
| With eyes so bright | C |
| So full of wild arts | D |
| Like nets of light | C |
| To tangle young hearts | D |
| With lips in whose keeping | E |
| Love's secret may dwell | F |
| Like Zephyr asleep in | G |
| Some rosy sea shell | F |
| Guess who he is | H |
| Name but his name | I |
| And his best kiss | J |
| For reward you may claim | I |
| - | |
| Where'er o'er the ground | K |
| He prints his light feet | L |
| The flowers there are found | K |
| Most shining and sweet | L |
| His looks as soft | M |
| As lightning in May | N |
| Tho' dangerous oft | O |
| Ne'er wound but in play | N |
| And oh when his wings | P |
| Have brushed o'er my lyre | Q |
| You'd fancy its strings | P |
| Were turning to fire | A |
| Guess who he is | H |
| Name but his name | I |
| And his best kiss | J |
| For reward you may claim | I |
