Lines Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| Day gradual fades in evening gray | A |
| Its last faint beam hath fled | B |
| And sinks the sun's declining ray | A |
| In ocean's wavy bed | B |
| So o'er the loves and joys of youth | C |
| Thy waves Indifference roll | D |
| So mantles round our days of truth | C |
| That death pool of the soul | D |
| - | |
| Spreads o'er the heavens the shadowy night | E |
| Her dim and shapeless form | F |
| So human pleasures frail and light | E |
| Are lost in passion's storm | F |
| So fades the sunshine of the breast | G |
| So passion's dreamings fall | H |
| So friendship's fervours sink to rest | G |
| Oblivion shrouds them all | H |
