This structure is called a villanelle with a complex repetition and rhyming pattern. Every stanza except the last one has three lines. The poem ends with a stanza of four lines.
This poem was weird, and I had no idea what it was talking about. I will give it my best shot anyway. The "good night" referred to in the poem represents death. "Wise men" in the poem symbolize that not even the smartest people can know when they will die. Only God knows when each person will die. "Good men" and "wild men" also have an important meaning but I do not know what that is just yet. "Grave men" are the people who either have died or are getting ready to die.
