Before Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB B B ABAB| Love's twilight wanes in heaven above | A |
| On earth ere twilight reigns | B |
| Ere fear may feel the chill thereof | A |
| Love's twilight wanes | B |
| - | |
| Ere yet the insatiate heart complains | B |
| 'Too much and scarce enough ' | - |
| The lip so late athirst refrains | B |
| - | |
| Soft on the neck of either dove | A |
| Love's hands let slip the reins | B |
| And while we look for light of love | A |
| Love's twilight wanes | B |
