At Evening Time There Shall Be Light Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDE FGFGHIHI JKGKHLHL| THE day was wild with wind and rain | A |
| One grey wrapped sky and sea and shore | B |
| It seemed our marsh would never again | C |
| Wear the rich robes that once it wore | B |
| The scattered farms looked sad and chill | D |
| Their sheltering trees writhed all awry | E |
| And waves of mist broke on the hill | D |
| Where once the great sea thundered by | E |
| - | |
| - | |
| Then God remembered this His land | F |
| This little land that is our own | G |
| He caught the rain up in His hand | F |
| He hid the winds behind His throne | G |
| He soothed the fretful waves to rest | H |
| He called the clouds to come away | I |
| And by blue pathways to the west | H |
| They went like children tired of play | I |
| - | |
| - | |
| And then God bade our marsh put on | J |
| Its holy vestment of fine gold | K |
| From marge to marge the glory shone | G |
| On lichened farm and fence and fold | K |
| In the gold sky that walled the west | H |
| In each transfigured stone and tree | L |
| The glory of God was manifest | H |
| Plain for a little child to see | L |
