When Evening Shadows Fall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCACA DBDBEAEA FGFGHAHA| When evening shadows fall | A |
| She hangs her cares away | B |
| Like empty garments on the wall | A |
| That hides her from the day | B |
| And while old memories throng | C |
| And vanished voices call | A |
| She lifts her grateful heart in song | C |
| When evening shadows fall | A |
| - | |
| Her weary hands forget | D |
| The burdens of the day | B |
| The weight of sorrow and regret | D |
| In music rolls away | B |
| And from the day's dull tomb | E |
| That holds her in its thrall | A |
| Her soul springs up in lily bloom | E |
| When evening shadows fall | A |
| - | |
| O weary heart and hand | F |
| Go bravely to the strife | G |
| No victory is half so grand | F |
| As that which conquers life | G |
| One day shall yet be thine | H |
| The day that waits for all | A |
| Whose prayerful eyes are things divine | H |
| When evening shadows fall | A |
