Evening In Summer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKLCMNOPQRS TUODVWXW| Confess'd from yonder slow extinguish'd clouds | A |
| All ether softening sober Evening takes | B |
| Her wonted station in the middle air | C |
| She sends on earth then that of deeper dye | D |
| Steals soft behind and then a deeper still | E |
| In circle following circle gathers round | F |
| To close the face of things A fresher gale | G |
| Begins to wave the wood and stir the stream | H |
| Sweeping with shadowy gust the fields of corn | I |
| While the quail clamours for his running mate | J |
| Wide o'er the thistly lawn as swells the breeze | K |
| A whitening shower of vegetable down | L |
| Amusive floats The kind impartial care | C |
| Of Nature nought disdains thoughtful to feed | M |
| Her lowest songs and clothe the coming year | N |
| From field to field the feather'd seed she wings | O |
| Among the crooked lanes on every hedge | P |
| The glowworm lights his gem and through the dark | Q |
| A moving radiance twinkles Evening yields | R |
| The world to Night not in her winter robe | S |
| Of massy Stygian woof but loose array'd | T |
| In mantle dun A faint erroneous ray | U |
| Glanced from th' imperfect surfaces of things | O |
| Flings half an image on the straining eye | D |
| While wavering woods and villages and streams | V |
| And rocks and mountain tops that long retain'd | W |
| Th' ascending gleam are all one swimming scene | X |
| Uncertain if beheld | W |
