Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IGJK| Slowly the west reaches for clothes of new colors | A |
| which it passes to a row of ancient trees | B |
| You look and soon these two worlds both leave you | C |
| one part climbs toward heaven one sinks to earth | D |
| - | |
| leaving you not really belonging to either | E |
| not so hopelessly dark as that house that is silent | F |
| not so unswervingly given to the eternal as that thing | G |
| that turns to a star each night and climbs | H |
| - | |
| leaving you it is impossible to untangle the threads | I |
| your own life timid and standing high and growing | G |
| so that sometimes blocked in sometimes reaching out | J |
| one moment your life is a stone in you and the next a star | K |
