Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFCDCD GHIHJDJD| WE sail toward evening s lonely star | A |
| That trembles in the tender blue | B |
| One single cloud a dusky bar | A |
| Burnt with dull carmine through and through | B |
| Slow smouldering in the summer sky | C |
| Lies low along the fading west | D |
| How sweet to watch its splendors die | C |
| Wave cradled thus and wind caressed | D |
| - | |
| The soft breeze freshens leaps the spray | E |
| To kiss our cheeks with sudden cheer | F |
| Upon the dark edge of the bay | E |
| Lighthouses kindle far and near | F |
| And through the warm deeps of the sky | C |
| Steal faint star clusters while we rest | D |
| In deep refreshment thou and I | C |
| Wave cradled thus and wind caressed | D |
| - | |
| How like a dream are earth and heaven | G |
| Star beam and darkness sky and sea | H |
| Thy face pale in the shadowy even | I |
| Thy quiet eyes that gaze on me | H |
| O realize the moment s charm | J |
| Thou dearest we are at life s best | D |
| Folded in God s encircling arm | J |
| Wave cradled thus and wind caressed | D |
