Nocturne Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDFGG HIJIKK| 'Tis not my voice now speaks but a bird | A |
| In darkling forest hollows a sweet throat | B |
| Pleads on till distant echo too hath heard | A |
| And doubles every note | B |
| So love that shrouded dwells in mystery | C |
| Would cry and waken thee | C |
| - | |
| Thou Solitary stir in thy still sleep | D |
| All the night waits thee yet thou still dream'st on | E |
| Furtive the shadows that about thee creep | D |
| And cheat the shining footsteps of the moon | F |
| Unseal thine eyes it is my heart that sings | G |
| And beats in vain its wings | G |
| - | |
| Lost in heaven's vague the stars burn softly through | H |
| The world's dark latticings we prisoned stray | I |
| Within its lovely labyrinth and know | J |
| Mute seraphs guard the way | I |
| Even from silence unto speech from love | K |
| To that self's self it still is dreaming of | K |
