Evenfall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEEEDED EGEGHDHDWhen day is done I steal away | A |
To fold my hands in rest | B |
And of my hours this moment grey | A |
I love the best | B |
So quietly I sit alone | C |
And wait for evenfall | D |
When in the dusk doves sweetly moan | C |
And crickets call | D |
- | |
With heart of humble gratitude | E |
How it is good to bide | F |
And know the joy of solitude | E |
In eventide | E |
When one is slow and slips a bit | E |
And life begins to pall | D |
How sweet it is in peace to sit | E |
At evenfall | D |
- | |
I play upon a simple lute | E |
My notes are faint and few | G |
But ere my melodies be mute | E |
Pray one be true | G |
Lord let the theme be thankfulness | H |
And as I wait my call | D |
More than noon rapture let me bless | H |
Life's evenfall | D |
