An Evening Guest Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK| IF in the silence of this lonely eve | A |
| With the street lamp pale flickering on the wall | B |
| An angel were to whisper me 'Believe | A |
| It shall be given thee Call ' whom should I call | B |
| - | |
| And then I were to see thee gliding in | C |
| Clad in known garments that with empty fold | D |
| Lie in my keeping and my fingers thin | C |
| As thine were once to feel in thy safe hold | D |
| - | |
| 'I should fall weeping on thy neck and say | E |
| 'I have so suffered since since ' But my tears | F |
| Would stop remembering how thou count'st thy day | E |
| A day that is with God a thousand years | G |
| - | |
| Then what are these sad days months years of mine | H |
| To thine eternity of full delight | I |
| What my whole life when myriad lives divine | H |
| May wait each leading to a higher height | I |
| - | |
| I lose myself I faint Beloved best | J |
| Let me still dream thy dear humanity | K |
| Sits with me here my head upon thy breast | J |
| And then I will go back to heaven with thee | K |
