Twilight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABA CDED EFGF EEHE IJJJ IKLK| The twilight is sad and cloudy | A |
| The wind blows wild and free | A |
| And like the wings of sea birds | B |
| Flash the white caps of the sea | A |
| - | |
| But in the fisherman's cottage | C |
| There shines a ruddier light | D |
| And a little face at the window | E |
| Peers out into the night | D |
| - | |
| Close close it is pressed to the window | E |
| As if those childish eyes | F |
| Were looking into the darkness | G |
| To see some form arise | F |
| - | |
| And a woman's waving shadow | E |
| Is passing to and fro | E |
| Now rising to the ceiling | H |
| Now bowing and bending low | E |
| - | |
| What tale do the roaring ocean | I |
| And the night wind bleak and wild | J |
| As they beat at the crazy casement | J |
| Tell to that little child | J |
| - | |
| And why do the roaring ocean | I |
| And the night wind wild and bleak | K |
| As they beat at the heart of the mother | L |
| Drive the color from her cheek | K |
