Before Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB B B ABAB

Love's twilight wanes in heaven aboveA
On earth ere twilight reignsB
Ere fear may feel the chill thereofA
Love's twilight wanesB
-
Ere yet the insatiate heart complainsB
'Too much and scarce enough '-
The lip so late athirst refrainsB
-
Soft on the neck of either doveA
Love's hands let slip the reinsB
And while we look for light of loveA
Love's twilight wanesB

Algernon Charles Swinburne
