By The Seaside : The Evening Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBABCBCDD| Lo in the paintedoriel of the West | A |
| Whose panes the sunken sun incarnadines | B |
| Like a fair lady at her casement shines | B |
| The evening star the star of love and rest | A |
| And then anon she doth herself divest | A |
| Of all her radiant garments and reclines | B |
| Behind the sombre screen of yonder pines | B |
| With slumber and soft dreams of love oppressed | A |
| O my beloved my sweet Hesperus | B |
| My morning and my evening star of love | C |
| My best and gentlest lady even thus | B |
| As that fair planet in the sky above | C |
| Dost thou retire unto thy rest at night | D |
| And from thy darkened window fades the light | D |
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
