Since Shade Relents Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGFG HIHJ KLKL MNMN AOAO| Since shade relents since 'tis indeed the day | A |
| Since hope I long had deemed forever flown | B |
| Wings back to me that call on her and pray | A |
| Since so much joy consents to be my own | B |
| - | |
| The dark designs all I relinquish here | C |
| And all the evil dreams Ah done am I | D |
| Above all with the narrowed lips the sneer | E |
| The heartless wit that laughed where one should sigh | D |
| - | |
| Away clenched fist and bosom's angry swell | F |
| That knave and fool at every turn abound | G |
| Away hard unforgivingness Farewell | F |
| Oblivion in a hated brewage found | G |
| - | |
| For I mean now a Being of the Morn | H |
| Has shed across my night excelling rays | I |
| Of love at once immortal and newborn | H |
| By favor of her smile her glance her grace | J |
| - | |
| I mean by you upheld O gentle hand | K |
| Wherein mine trembles led sweet eyes by you | L |
| To walk straight lie the path o'er mossy land | K |
| Or barren waste that rocks and pebbles strew | L |
| - | |
| Yes calm I mean to walk through life and straight | M |
| Patient of all unanxious of the goal | N |
| Void of all envy violence or hate | M |
| It shall be duty done with cheerful soul | N |
| - | |
| And as I may to lighten the long way | A |
| Go singing airs ingenuous and brave | O |
| She'll listen to me graciously I say | A |
| And verily no other heaven I crave | O |
