Evans Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHI JKLMNOP Q| Evans Yes many a time | A |
| I came down his bare flight | B |
| Of stairs into the gaunt kitchen | C |
| With its wood fire where crickets sang | D |
| Accompaniment to the black kettle s | E |
| Whine and so into the cold | F |
| Dark to smother in the thick tide | G |
| Of night that drifted about the walls | H |
| Of his stark farm on the hill ridge | I |
| - | |
| It was not the dark filling my eyes | J |
| And mouth appalled me not even the drip | K |
| Of rain like blood from the one tree | L |
| Weather tortured It was the dark | M |
| Silting the veins of that sick man | N |
| I left stranded upon the vast | O |
| And lonely shore of his bleak bed | P |

M. McLeary Graham : I first encountered this poem in school over 30 years ago. I had an emotional reaction then, and a more intense reaction now as I see how Evans foreshadows the very personal and sad epic of watching a loved one slowly leave this life.
