Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCC DEDEFFF| The river sleeps beneath the sky | A |
| And clasps the shadows to its breast | B |
| The crescent moon shines dim on high | A |
| And in the lately radiant west | B |
| The gold is fading into gray | C |
| Now stills the lark his festive lay | C |
| And mourns with me the dying day | C |
| - | |
| While in the south the first faint star | D |
| Lifts to the night its silver face | E |
| And twinkles to the moon afar | D |
| Across the heaven's graying space | E |
| Low murmurs reach me from the town | F |
| As Day puts on her sombre crown | F |
| And shakes her mantle darkly down | F |
Paul Laurence Dunbar
