After Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB CDCDED FGFHIH| The forest was a shrine for her | A |
| A temple richly dressed | B |
| And worshippers the tall trees were | A |
| Each to his prayer addressed | B |
| Scarce dared I lift my eyes or stir | A |
| So deeply was I blessed | B |
| - | |
| She took to herself the waning day | C |
| Like a round twilight moon | D |
| Serenely rising far away | C |
| A silvery moon of June | D |
| That whiter than the morning is | E |
| And fairer than the noon | D |
| - | |
| The dim world darkened round her all | F |
| Was night save where she shone | G |
| Save where she stood so slim and small | F |
| The shadowed earth upon | H |
| As though the earth were new and she | I |
| Would light its fires anon | H |
