An Autumn Evening At Murray Bay Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AABB CCDD EEAA FFGG AAHH AAII| Darkly falls the autumn twilight rustles by the crisp leaf sere | A |
| Sadly wail the lonely night winds sweeping sea ward chill and drear | A |
| Sullen dash the restless waters gainst a bleak and rock bound shore | A |
| While the sea birds weird voices mingle with their surging roar | A |
| - | |
| Vainly seeks the eye a flow ret mid the desolation drear | A |
| Or a spray of pleasant verdure which the gloomy scene might cheer | A |
| Nought but frowning crags and boulders and long sea weeds ghastly dank | B |
| With the mosses and pale lichens to the wet rocks clinging rank | B |
| - | |
| See the fog clouds thickly rolling o er the landscape far and wide | C |
| Till the tall cliffs look like phantoms seeking mid their shrouds to hide | C |
| On they come the misty masses of the wreathing vapour white | D |
| Filling hill and mead and valley blotting earth and heaven from sight | D |
| - | |
| Silent mournful am I standing gazing from the window pane | E |
| Dimmed and blurred with heavy plashes of the fast descending rain | E |
| While thoughts chiming with the hour my weary brain are passing through | A |
| Till the shadows of the evening on my brow are mirrored too | A |
| - | |
| Rise although uncalled within me memories of the distant past | F |
| Of the dreams the hopes the fancies that round life sweet sunshine cast | F |
| Whilst the moan of winds and waters with a strange mysterious art | G |
| Seem to awaken drear forebodings in the listening gazer s heart | G |
| - | |
| Ah it needs yon pleasant tapers with enlivening home like ray | A |
| And the sound of voices sharing each in turn in converse gay | A |
| And the flash of fire light making happy faces still more glad | H |
| To dispel the mournful thoughts that make the evening hour so sad | H |
| - | |
| Turning from this lonely musing wilful nursing of dark care | A |
| I will join the joyous circle of the dear ones gathered there | A |
| Who with smiles will greet my advent and in that delightful room | I |
| Shake aside the dreary shadows of this scene of autumn gloom | I |
