Day Is Dying Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GEHE BEIE HBJB

Day is dying Float o songA
Down the westward riverB
Requiem chanting to the DayC
Day the mighty giverB
-
Pierced by shafts of Time he bleedsD
Melted rubies sendingE
Through the river and the skyF
Earth and heaven blendingE
-
All the long drawn earthy banksG
Up to cloudland liftingE
Slow between them drifts the swanH
'Twixt two heavens driftingE
-
Wings half open like a flowerB
In by deeper flushingE
Neck and breast as virgin's pureI
Virgin proudly blushingE
-
Day is dying Float o swanH
Down the ruby riverB
Follow song in requiemJ
To the mighty GiverB
