Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG FHFH| 'Tis evening the black snail has got on his track | A |
| And gone to its nest is the wren | B |
| And the packman snail too with his home on his back | A |
| Clings to the bowed bents like a wen | B |
| - | |
| The shepherd has made a rude mark with his foot | C |
| Where his shadow reached when he first came | D |
| And it just touched the tree where his secret love cut | E |
| Two letters that stand for love's name | D |
| - | |
| The evening comes in with the wishes of love | F |
| And the shepherd he looks on the flowers | G |
| And thinks who would praise the soft song of the dove | F |
| And meet joy in these dew falling hours | G |
| - | |
| For Nature is love and finds haunts for true love | F |
| Where nothing can hear or intrude | H |
| It hides from the eagle and joins with the dove | F |
| In beautiful green solitude | H |
