A Twilight Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF CGCGAA| Why rapturous bird though shades of night | A |
| Muffle the leaves and swathe the lawn | B |
| Singest thou still with all thy might | A |
| As though 'twere noon as though 'twere dawn | B |
| Silence darkens on vale and hill | C |
| But thou unseen art singing still | C |
| - | |
| 'Tis because though in dusky bower | D |
| With love delighted still thou art | E |
| Nor hath the deepening twilight power | D |
| To lay a curfew on thy heart | E |
| Thou lovest and loving dost prolong | F |
| The sense of sunlight with thy song | F |
| - | |
| Thus may love's rapture haunt me still | C |
| When life's full radiance fadeth slow | G |
| Along the faltering west and fill | C |
| With melody my afterglow | G |
| And something of Song's morning might | A |
| Linger to make you doubt 'tis night | A |
