Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic University Bulletin, 1899, Vol. 5 Although the music of Night and Sleep is not depend ent upon the rhyme, it is plain, - as the form of poetry appeals to the ear, - that the rhyme is a gain; and yet one does not miss it in the fifth and seventh line of each stanza. The real musical charm of the poem, - only two stanzas, of four, are given here, - lies in the management of the rhythm. Welectic, almost all other kinds of verse being catalectic on at least one syllable, implying a final pause of corresponding. Duration. Mr. Patmore here shows that the rhyme in this lovely Night and Sleep is merely accessory, a lightly played accompaniment to a song that would be as beautiful a song without it, yet gaining a certain accent through this aecom paniment, and that the real questions in all verse are of rhythm and of time. Ten, nyson whose technique, even in the use of sibilants, will bear the closest scrutiny, often proves the merely accessory value of rhyme, but 1n no instance more fully than in Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean; Tears from the depth of some divine despair Rise in the heart and gather in the eyes, In looking on the happy autumn fields, And thinking of the days that are no more.
