Twilight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEB FBGDHD DIAIJI KLMLNL NOPONO QRERNR| Draped in shadows stands the mountain | A |
| Against the eastern sky | B |
| Above it the fair summer moon | C |
| Looks downward tenderly | D |
| And Venus in the glowing west | E |
| Opens her languid eye | B |
| - | |
| Now the winds breathe softer music | F |
| Half a song and half a sigh | B |
| While twilight wraps her purple veil | G |
| Around us silently | D |
| And our thoughts appear like pictures | H |
| Pictures shaded wondrously | D |
| - | |
| Quiet landscapes sweet and lonely | D |
| Silvery sea and shadowy glade | I |
| Forest lakes by man forsaken | A |
| Where the white fawn's steps are stayed | I |
| And contadinos straying | J |
| 'Neath the Pantheon's solemn shade | I |
| - | |
| And we see the wave bridged over | K |
| By the moonlight's mystic link | L |
| Desert wells by tall palms shaded | M |
| Where dusky camels drink | L |
| While dark eyed Arab maidens | N |
| Fill their pitchers at the brink | L |
| - | |
| And secluded convent chapels | N |
| Where veiled nuns kneel to pray | O |
| With a dim light streaming o'er them | P |
| Through arches quaint and gray | O |
| While down the long and winding aisles | N |
| Low music dies away | O |
| - | |
| There is a starry twilight | Q |
| Of the soul as sadly fair | R |
| When our wild emotions are at rest | E |
| Like the pale nuns at prayer | R |
| And our griefs are hushed like sleepers | N |
| And put off the robes of care | R |
