Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGF HIHJ H F| The sky puts on the darkening blue coat | A |
| held for it by a row of ancient trees | B |
| you watch and the lands grow distant in your sight | C |
| one journeying to heaven one that falls | D |
| - | |
| and leave you not at home in either one | E |
| not quite so still and dark as the darkened houses | F |
| not calling to eternity with the passion of what becomes | G |
| a star each night and rises | F |
| - | |
| and leave you inexpressibly to unravel | H |
| your life with its immensity and fear | I |
| so that now bounded now immeasurable | H |
| it is alternately stone in you and star | J |
