Jungle Twilight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBBA CBBBC DEEFD GHHIG| From teak and tamarind and palm | A |
| The heavy sun goes down unseen | B |
| The jungle drowns in duskier green | B |
| And quickening perfumes vespertine | B |
| Alone assail the sluggish calm | A |
| - | |
| Narcotic silence opiate gloom | C |
| The painted parakeets are gone | B |
| The blazoned butterflies withdrawn | B |
| Nocturnal blossoms weird and wan | B |
| Like phantom wings and faces bloom | C |
| - | |
| In the high trees the darkness grows | D |
| And rising overbrims the sky | E |
| Like a black serpent gliding hy | E |
| 'Neath woven creepers covertly | F |
| Unknown and near the river flows | D |
| - | |
| Where deeplier in oblivion's tide | G |
| The dateless fair pagodas fall | H |
| And winding on the toppled wall | H |
| Where carven gods hold carnival | I |
| The cobra couples with his bride | G |
