To The Evening Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCCC CDCDECFC CGCGHIHI| The woods waved welcome in the breeze | A |
| When many years ago | B |
| Lured by the songs of birds and bees | A |
| I sought the dell below | B |
| And there in that secluded spot | C |
| Where silver streamlets roved | C |
| Twined the green ivy round the cot | C |
| Of her I fondly loved | C |
| - | |
| In dreams still near that porch I stand | C |
| To listen to her vow | D |
| Still feel the pressure of her hand | C |
| Upon my burning brow | D |
| And here as in the days gone by | E |
| With joy I meet her yet | C |
| And mark the love light of her eyes | F |
| Fringed with its lash of jet | C |
| - | |
| O fleeting vision of the past | C |
| From memory glide away | G |
| Ye were too beautiful to last | C |
| Too good to longer stay | G |
| But why attesting evening star | H |
| This sermon sad recall | I |
| THAN LOVE AND LOSE 'TIS BETTER FAR | H |
| TO NEVER LOVE AT ALL | I |
