The Little Town At Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF| The chime of the bells and the church clock striking eight | A |
| Solemnly and distinctly cries down the babel of children still playing in the hay | B |
| The church draws nearer upon us gentle and great | A |
| In shadow covering us up with her grey | B |
| - | |
| Like drowsy children the houses fall asleep | C |
| Under the fleece of shadow as in between | D |
| Tall and dark the church moves anxious to keep | C |
| Their sleeping cover them soft unseen | D |
| - | |
| Hardly a murmur comes from the sleeping brood | E |
| I wish the church had covered me up with the rest | F |
| In the home place Why is it she should exclude | E |
| Me so distinctly from sleeping with those I love best | F |
