Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBCDEFDGF| WHAT horror lurked within the First Man's brain | A |
| As downward to the West the Sun god stepped | B |
| And paused upon the hill ridge ere he leapt | B |
| Headlong into the night What cold dumb pain | A |
| He felt as still he marked the twilight wane | A |
| And on the dragon Darkness crept and crept | B |
| While beating in his mind the question kept | B |
| Is this Earth's all Can Day e'er come again | C |
| And yet last night one watched with listless eyes | D |
| The stricken Sun god struggling in his gore | E |
| With wasting red bedabbled unto whom | F |
| Life's joyous sun shall nevermore uprise | D |
| His dream of light has faded gloried o'er | G |
| His night has come a night of endless gloom | F |
