When The Twilight Shadows Deepen Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD EEFF GGHI FFJJ| When the twilight shadows deepen and the far off lands are dim | A |
| And the vesper dirge is stealing like the chant of cherubim | A |
| There's a prayer within my bosom that's responsive to the sound | B |
| There's a thought that springs within me but 'tis sad and silence bound | B |
| - | |
| There's a sorrow in those shadows as they lengthen on the lawn | C |
| For the joy of life has vanished and its sweetness all is gone | C |
| And the purple mists of even as they hover o'er the glade | D |
| Seem to hush in voiceless gloom the deep recesses of the shade | D |
| - | |
| Oh thou beyond those heathery hills beyond those woodlands blue | E |
| Which as they meet the eastern sky receive its azure hue | E |
| Ah must I lonely linger here where nought but griefs await | F |
| Where life is but one long long sigh and all disconsolate | F |
| - | |
| I'm weeping yes I'm weeping with the sun of youth gone down | G |
| With the blossoms of the summer time all withering and brown | G |
| Thou can'st not know that rending pain those sobs thou can'st not hear | H |
| Thou can'st not feel those burning throbs whence wells the sparkling tear | I |
| - | |
| Oh say thou wilt not turn away oh say we must not part | F |
| Thou would'st not spurn this aching breast nor crush this breaking heart | F |
| Without thee what is Life a name in which no life can be | J |
| Oh give me back thy smile thy tear 'tis all the world to me | J |
