Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAACDCD ECECFDFD EDEDEAEA| Kate if e'er thy light foot lingers | A |
| On the lawn when up the fells | B |
| Steals the Dark and fairy fingers | A |
| Close unseen the pimpernels | A |
| When his thighs with sweetness laden | C |
| From the meadow comes the bee | D |
| And the lover and the maiden | C |
| Stand beneath the trysting tree | D |
| - | |
| Lingers on till stars unnumber'd | E |
| Tremble in the breeze swept tarn | C |
| And the bat that all day slumber'd | E |
| Flits about the lonely barn | C |
| And the shapes that shrink from garish | F |
| Noon are peopling cairn and lea | D |
| And thy sire is almost bearish | F |
| If kept waiting for his tea | D |
| - | |
| And the screech owl scares the peasant | E |
| As he skirts some churchyard drear | D |
| And the goblins whisper pleasant | E |
| Tales in Miss Rossetti's ear | D |
| Importuning her in strangest | E |
| Sweetest tones to buy their fruits | A |
| O be careful that thou changest | E |
| On returning home thy boots | A |
