Nightfall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA CDDC EBFE FGGG HIH| Low on the lilac breast of eve | A |
| The yellow rose of sunset lies | B |
| Beneath my cheek with little sighs | B |
| I feel thy happy bosom heave | A |
| - | |
| Ah darling let the sun depart | C |
| And night usurp the western hills | D |
| A dearer flame thy bosom fills | D |
| And clearer suns are in my heart | C |
| - | |
| Love hath no need of other light | E |
| Thy kisses on my lips and eyes | B |
| Are like the dawn in Paradise | F |
| That burns upon the lidded sight | E |
| - | |
| Our bodies find an ecstacy | F |
| A deepening rapture soft and fair | G |
| Like the blue seas and roseal air | G |
| About the isles of Faery | G |
| - | |
| Thine ardent limbs are mine to hold | H |
| From brow to breast from knee to side My kisses and caresses glide | I |
| Like unseen flames of red and gold | H |
