Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA BCBCDC DED EFE FGF GHG HID IJI KLM| Rest beauty stillness not a waif of a cloud | A |
| From gray blue east sheer to the yellow west | B |
| No film of mist the utmost slopes to shroud | A |
| - | |
| The earth lies grace by quiet airs caressed | B |
| And shepherdeth her shadows but each stream | C |
| Free to the sky is by that glow possessed | B |
| And traileth with the splendors of a dream | C |
| Athwart the dusky land Uplift thine eyes | D |
| Unbroken by a vapor or a gleam | C |
| - | |
| The vast clear reach of mild wan twilight skies | D |
| But look again and lo the evening star | E |
| Against the pale tints black the slim elms rise | D |
| - | |
| The earth exhales sweet odors nigh and far | E |
| And from the heavens fine influences fall | F |
| Familiar things stand not for what they are | E |
| - | |
| What they suggest foreshadow or recall | F |
| The spirit is alert to apprehend | G |
| Imparting somewhat of herself to all | F |
| - | |
| Labor and thought and care are at an end | G |
| The soul is filled with gracious reveries | H |
| And with her mood soft sounds and colors blend | G |
| - | |
| For simplest sounds ring forth like melodies | H |
| In this weird lighted air the monotone | I |
| Of some far bell the distant farmyard cries | D |
| - | |
| A barking dog the thin persistent drone | I |
| Of crickets and the lessening call of birds | J |
| The apparition of yon star alone | I |
| - | |
| Breaks on the sense like music Beyond word | K |
| The peace that floods the soul for night is here | L |
| And Beauty still is guide and harbinger | M |
