Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABC DEFE GHGHII JJKK LMLMNN NNEEEE| From this windy bridge at rest | A |
| In some former curious hour | B |
| We have watched the city's hue | C |
| All along the orange west | A |
| Cupola and pointed tower | B |
| Darken into solid blue | C |
| - | |
| Tho' the biting north wind breaks | D |
| Full across this drifted hold | E |
| Let us stand with iced cheeks | F |
| Watching westward as of old | E |
| - | |
| Past the violet mountain head | G |
| To the farthest fringe of pine | H |
| Where far off the purple red | G |
| Narrows to a dusky line | H |
| And the last pale splendours die | I |
| Slowly from the olive sky | I |
| - | |
| Till the thin clouds wear away | J |
| Into threads of purple gray | J |
| And the sudden stars between | K |
| Brighten in the pallid green | K |
| - | |
| Till above the spacious east | L |
| Slow returned one by one | M |
| Like pale prisoners released | L |
| From the dungeons of the sun | M |
| Capella and her train appear | N |
| In the glittering Charioteer | N |
| - | |
| Till the rounded moon shall grow | N |
| Great above the eastern snow | N |
| Shining into burnished gold | E |
| And the silver earth outrolled | E |
| In the misty yellow light | E |
| Shall take on the width of night | E |
