Starlight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABCDEFGHIJKLMNONPQR SMTIUV| The evening star will twinkle presently | A |
| The last small bird is silent and the bee | A |
| Has gone into his hive and the shut flowers | B |
| Are bending as if sleeping on the stem | C |
| And all sweet living things are slumbering | D |
| In the deep hush of nature's resting time | E |
| The faded West looks deep as if its blue | F |
| Were searchable and even as I look | G |
| The twilight hath stole over it and made | H |
| Its liquid eye apparent and above | I |
| To the far stretching zenith and around | J |
| As if they waited on her like a queen | K |
| Have stole out the innumerable stars | L |
| To twinkle like intelligence in heaven | M |
| Is it not beautiful my fair Adel | N |
| Fit for the young affections to come out | O |
| And bathe in like an element How well | N |
| The night is made for tenderness so still | P |
| That the low whisper scarcely audible | Q |
| Is heard like music and so deeply pure | R |
| That the fond thought is chastened as it springs | S |
| And on the lip made holy I have won | M |
| Thy heart my gentle girl but it hath been | T |
| When that soft eye was on me and the love | I |
| I told beneath the evening influence | U |
| Shall be as constant as its gentle star | V |
