In The Cool Of The Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFGHHII| I thought I heard Him calling Did you hear | A |
| A sound a little sound My curious ear | A |
| Is dinned with flying noises and the tree | B |
| Goes whisper whisper whisper silently | B |
| Till all its whispers spread into the sound | C |
| Of a dull roar Lie closer to the ground | C |
| The shade is deep and He may pass us by | D |
| We are so very small and His great eye | D |
| Customed to starry majesties may gaze | E |
| Too wide to spy us hiding in the maze | E |
| Ah misery the sun has not yet gone | F |
| And we are naked He will look upon | G |
| Our crouching shame may make us stand upright | H |
| Burning in terror O that it were night | H |
| He may not come what listen list now | I |
| He is here lie closer Adam where art thou | I |
