Eastern Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEFEFGHGHFFFBBI IEEDJ| 'Tis only the nightingale's warbled strain | A |
| That floats through the evening sky | B |
| With his note of love he replies again | C |
| To the muezzin's holy cry | B |
| As it sweetly sounds on the rosy air | D |
| Allah il allah come to prayer | D |
| Warm o'er the waters the red sun is glowing | E |
| 'Tis the last parting glance of his splendour and might | F |
| While each rippling wave on the bright shore is throwing | E |
| Its white crest that breaks into showers of light | F |
| Each distant mosque and minaret | G |
| Is shining in the setting sun | H |
| Whose farewell look is brighter yet | G |
| Than that with which his course begun | H |
| On the dark blue mountains his smile is bright | F |
| It glows on the orange grove's waving height | F |
| And breaks through its shade in long lines of light | F |
| No sound on the earth and no sound in the sky | B |
| Save murmuring fountains that sparkle nigh | B |
| And the rustling flight of the evening breeze | I |
| Who steals from his nest in the cypress trees | I |
| And a thousand dewy odours fling | E |
| As he shakes their white buds from his gossamer wing | E |
| And flutters away through the spicy air | D |
| At sound of a footstep drawing near | J |
