Evening Primrose Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHI| When once the sun sinks in the west | A |
| And dewdrops pearl the evening's breast | A |
| Almost as pale as moonbeams are | B |
| Or its companionable star | B |
| The evening primrose opes anew | C |
| Its delicate blossoms to the dew | C |
| And hermit like shunning the light | D |
| Wastes its fair bloom upon the night | D |
| Who blindfold to its fond caresses | E |
| Knows not the beauty it possesses | F |
| Thus it blooms on while night is by | G |
| When day looks out with open eye | G |
| Bashed at the gaze it cannot shun | H |
| It faints and withers and is gone | I |
