Compact Dusk Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDCD EFE GHE

Here at the height of the day night changeA
The color of the sky is uncertainB
The sky depending in which directionB
One's eye strains each of its swatches a strangeA
-
Hue which dies too soon and which makes this hourC
Linger in the mind transient as a lifeD
Whose names once known remain anotherC
Posied up portrait on our palette knifeD
-
Until even I wonder if one tintE
Ever survives the harm of seeming uniqueF
Evening's intrigue time's singularityE
-
Study for its trace its placemap I seeG
Redundant as a stopsign in italicH
The face on which my profile leaves no printE
