Evening Hymn Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAABBAACCAA DDEFGGHHIJAA| The crag pent breezes sob and moan where hidden waters glide | A |
| And twilight wanders round the earth with slow and shadowy stride | A |
| The gleaming clouds above the brows of western steeps uphurled | A |
| Look like the spires of some fair town that bounds a brighter world | A |
| Lo from the depths of yonder wood where many a blind creek strays | B |
| The pure Australian moon comes forth enwreathed with silver haze | B |
| The rainy mists are trooping down the folding hills behind | A |
| And distant torrent voices rise like bells upon the wind | A |
| The echeu's songs are dying with the flute bird's mellow tone | C |
| And night recalls the gloomy owl to rove the wilds alone | C |
| Night holy night in robes of blue with golden stars encrowned | A |
| Ascending mountains like to walls that hem an Eden round | A |
| - | |
| Oh lovely moon oh holy night how good your God must be | D |
| When through the glories of your light He stoops to look at me | D |
| Oh glittering clouds and silvery shapes that vanish one by one | E |
| Is not the kindness of our Lord too great to think upon | F |
| If human song could flow as free as His created breeze | G |
| When sloping from some hoary height it sweeps the vacant seas | G |
| Then should my voice to heaven ascend my tuneful lyre be strung | H |
| And music sweeter than the winds should roam these glens among | H |
| Go by ye golden footed hours to your mysterious bourne | I |
| And hide the sins ye bear from hence so that they ne'er return | J |
| Teach me ye beauteous stars to kiss kind Mercy's chastening rod | A |
| And looking up from Nature's face to worship Nature's God | A |
