Twilight Music Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABABCCBBCDBEEDFFGG BHHIIBJBBBJBBBKKLLFM F| Know you the low pervading breeze | A |
| That softly sings | B |
| In the trembling leaves of twilight trees | A |
| As if the wind were dreaming on its wings | B |
| And have you marked their still degrees | A |
| Of ebbing melody like the strings | B |
| Of a silver harp swept by a spirit's hand | C |
| In some strange glimmering land | C |
| 'Mid gushing springs | B |
| And glistenings | B |
| Of waters and of planets wild and grand | C |
| And have you marked in that still time | D |
| The chariots of those shining cars | B |
| Brighten upon the hushing dark | E |
| And bent to hark | E |
| That Voice amid the poplar and the lime | D |
| Pause in the dilating lustre | F |
| Of the spheral cluster | F |
| Pause but to renew its sweetness deep | G |
| As dreams of heaven to souls that sleep | G |
| And felt despite earth's jarring wars | B |
| When day is done | H |
| And dead the sun | H |
| Still a voice divine can sing | I |
| Still is there sympathy can bring | I |
| A whisper from the stars | B |
| Ah with this sentience quickly will you know | J |
| How like a tree I tremble to the tones | B |
| Of your sweet voice | B |
| How keenly I rejoice | B |
| When in me with sweet motions slow | J |
| The spiritual music ebbs and moans | B |
| Lives in the lustre of those heavenly eyes | B |
| Dies in the light of its own paradise | B |
| Dies and relives eternal from its death | K |
| Immortal melodies in each deep breath | K |
| Sweeps thro' my being bearing up to thee | L |
| Myself the weight of its eternity | L |
| Till nerved to life from its ordeal fire | F |
| It marries music with the human lyre | M |
| Blending divine delight with loveliest desire | F |
