Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: A B B A C D D C| I saw the day lean o'er the world's sharp edge | A |
| - | |
| And peer into night's chasm dark and damp | B |
| - | |
| High in his hand he held a blazing lamp | B |
| - | |
| Then dropped it and plunged headlong down the ledge | A |
| - | |
| With lurid splendor that swift paled to gray | C |
| - | |
| I saw the dim skies suddenly flush bright | D |
| - | |
| 'Twas but the expiring glory of the light | D |
| - | |
| Flung from the hand of the adventurous day | C |
