When The Evening Star Went Down Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GGHII AAJAJEKE LIMNIEOE| The morning was fearful at sea | A |
| The voyagers weary and pale | B |
| Their steamer a wreck from keel to deck | C |
| Before an Autumnal gale | B |
| Old Neptune came forth in power | D |
| He wore on his features a frown | E |
| And many a guest he took to rest | F |
| When the Evening Star went down | E |
| - | |
| They sleep in a fathomless grave | G |
| The guest and the mariner brave | G |
| They pillow their heads on coral beds | H |
| Beneath the blue ocean waves | I |
| Beneath the blue ocean waves | I |
| - | |
| Sail'd ever a ship from her quay | A |
| So heavily laden as she | A |
| With folly and fame with hope and shame | J |
| With vanity mirth and glee | A |
| But in the dark moment that came | J |
| How useless were rank and renown | E |
| And honors of earth what were they worth | K |
| When the Evening Star went down | E |
| - | |
| The treacherous ocean is calm | L |
| No longer in storm billows toss's | I |
| Yet darkness and cloud will long enshroud | M |
| The hearts that were link'd with the lost | N |
| In how many how many homes | I |
| Far distant in country or town | E |
| A light was put out in dread in doubt | O |
| When the Evening Star when down | E |
