A Canadian Summer Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDD EEFGHHII JJKKLLDD| The rose tints have faded from out of the West | A |
| From the Mountain s high peak from the river s broad breast | A |
| And silently shadowing valley and rill | B |
| The twilight steals noiselessly over the hill | B |
| Behold in the blue depths of ether afar | C |
| Now softly emerging each glittering star | C |
| While later the moon placid solemn and bright | D |
| Floods earth with her tremulous silvery light | D |
| - | |
| Hush list to the Whip poor will s soft plaintive notes | E |
| As up from the valley the lonely sound floats | E |
| Inhale the sweet breath of yon shadowy wood | F |
| And the wild flowers blooming in hushed solitude | G |
| Start not at the whispering tis but the breeze | H |
| Low rustling mid maple and lonely pine trees | H |
| Or willows and alders that fringe the dark tide | I |
| Where canoes of the red men oft silently glide | I |
| - | |
| See rising from out of that copse dark and damp | J |
| The fire flies each bearing a flickering lamp | J |
| Like meteors gleaming and streaming they pass | K |
| O er hillside and meadow and dew laden grass | K |
| Contrasting with ripple on river and stream | L |
| Alternately playing in shadow and beam | L |
| Till fullness of beauty fills hearing and sight | D |
| Throughout the still hours of a calm summer s night | D |
