A Night-piece Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRNS TUVWXD| The sky is overcast | A |
| With a continuous cloud of texture close | B |
| Heavy and wan all whitened by the Moon | C |
| Which through that veil is indistinctly seen | D |
| A dull contracted circle yielding light | E |
| So feebly spread that not a shadow falls | F |
| Chequering the ground from rock plant tree or tower | G |
| At length a pleasant instantaneous gleam | H |
| Startles the pensive traveller while he treads | I |
| His lonesome path with unobserving eye | J |
| Bent earthwards he looks up the clouds are split | K |
| Asunder and above his head he sees | L |
| The clear Moon and the glory of the heavens | M |
| There in a black blue vault she sails along | N |
| Followed by multitudes of stars that small | O |
| And sharp and bright along the dark abyss | P |
| Drive as she drives how fast they wheel away | Q |
| Yet vanish not the wind is in the tree | R |
| But they are silent still they roll along | N |
| Immeasurably distant and the vault | S |
| Built round by those white clouds enormous clouds | T |
| Still deepens its unfathomable depth | U |
| At length the Vision closes and the mind | V |
| Not undisturbed by the delight it feels | W |
| Which slowly settles into peaceful calm | X |
| Is left to muse upon the solemn scene | D |
