Twilight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCBCBAA| The setting Sun withdraws his yellow light | A |
| A gloomy staining shadows over all | B |
| While the brown beetle trumpeter of Night | A |
| Proclaims his entrance with a droning call | B |
| How pleasant now where slanting hazels fall | B |
| Thick o'er the woodland stile to muse and lean | C |
| To pluck a woodbine from the shade withal | B |
| And take short snatches o'er the moisten'd scene | C |
| While deep and deeper shadows intervene | C |
| And leave fond Fancy moulding to her will | B |
| The cots and groves and trees so dimly seen | C |
| That die away more undiscerned still | B |
| Bringing a sooty curtain o'er the sight | A |
| And calmness in the bosom still as night | A |
