Twilight. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF AHAH IJIJ KLKL MNMN| The sun is sinking where the western hills | A |
| The vision bounds with rugged summits old | B |
| And with his latest beam he brightly gilds | A |
| And crowns with amethyst and gold | B |
| - | |
| The distant music of a tinkling bell | C |
| Is floating o'er the meadow's gentle sweep | D |
| No discords mar the magic of the spell | C |
| And stealthily the twilight shadows creep | D |
| - | |
| And gently falls upon the listening ear | E |
| Like tones from voices of the long ago | F |
| The cadence of the murmuring waters near | G |
| With rhythmic ripplings soft and low | F |
| - | |
| Now grow apace the shadows' slanting shapes | A |
| And fade the rugged hills to misty gray | H |
| As dying day its calm departure takes | A |
| And yields to coming night her sable sway | H |
| - | |
| The vaulted dome above now glows afar | I |
| With many a soft and tender light | J |
| Each sparkling gem it wears a jeweled star | I |
| With sweet effulgence purely bright | J |
| - | |
| Sweet scene Sweet hour If to the heart | K |
| No quick'ning pulses they can lend | L |
| And to the soul no rapture thus impart | K |
| Vain were our lives and vainer still the end | L |
| - | |
| O such the time when he who will may feel | M |
| Release from care vexation toil and strife | N |
| And musing then will gently o'er him steal | M |
| The sweetest moments of the turmoil life | N |
