Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCC ADADEEF AGAHIII JKJKAAA| WHEN the white iris folds the drowsing bee | A |
| When the first cricket wakes | B |
| The fairy hosts of his enchanted brakes | B |
| When the dark moth has sought the lilac tree | A |
| And the young stars like jasmine of the skies | C |
| Are opening on the silence Lord there lies | C |
| Dew on Thy rose and dream upon mine eyes | C |
| - | |
| Lovely the day when life is robed in splendour | A |
| Walking the ways of God and strong with wine | D |
| But the pale eve is wonderful and tender | A |
| And night is more divine | D |
| Fold my faint olives from their shimmering plain | E |
| O shadow of sweet darkness fringed with rain | E |
| Give me to night again | F |
| - | |
| Give me to day no more I have bethought me | A |
| Silence is more than laughter sleep than tears | G |
| Sleep like a lover faithfully hath sought me | A |
| Down the enduring years | H |
| Where stray the first white fatlings of the fold | I |
| Where the Lent lily droops her earlier gold | I |
| Sleep waits me as of old | I |
| - | |
| Grant me sweet sleep for light is unavailing | J |
| When patient eyes grow weary of the day | K |
| Young lambs creep close and tender wings are failing | J |
| And I grow tired as they | K |
| Light as the long wave leaves the lonely shore | A |
| Our boughs have lost the bloom that morning bore | A |
| Give me to day no more | A |
