Blue Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB ACAC ADAD EFGEG AHAH AIAI AAAA AJAJ| My restless blood now lies a quiver | A |
| Knowing that always exquisitely | B |
| This April twilight on the river | A |
| Stirs anguish in the heart of me | B |
| - | |
| For the fast world in that rare glimmer | A |
| Puts on the witchery of a dream | C |
| The straight grey buildings richly dimmer | A |
| The fiery windows and the stream | C |
| - | |
| With willows leaning quietly over | A |
| The still ecstatic fading skies | D |
| And all these like a waiting lover | A |
| Murmur and gleam lift lustrous eyes | D |
| - | |
| Drift close to me and sideways bending | E |
| Whisper delicious words | F |
| But I | G |
| Stretch terrible hands uncomprehending | E |
| Shaken with love and laugh and cry | G |
| - | |
| My agony made the willows quiver | A |
| I heard the knocking of my heart | H |
| Die loudly down the windless river | A |
| I heard the pale skies fall apart | H |
| - | |
| And the shrill stars' unmeaning laughter | A |
| And my voice with the vocal trees | I |
| Weeping And Hatred followed after | A |
| Shrilling madly down the breeze | I |
| - | |
| In peace from the wild heart of clamour | A |
| A flower in moonlight she was there | A |
| Was rippling down white ways of glamour | A |
| Quietly laid on wave and air | A |
| - | |
| Her passing left no leaf a quiver | A |
| Pale flowers wreathed her white white brows | J |
| Her feet were silence on the river | A |
| And Hush she said between the boughs | J |
