Pine-trees And The Sky: Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA ABABBABBA CABAABAA| I'd watched the sorrow of the evening sky | A |
| And smelt the sea and earth and the warm clover | B |
| And heard the waves and the seagull's mocking cry | A |
| - | |
| And in them all was only the old cry | A |
| That song they always sing The best is over | B |
| You may remember now and think and sigh | A |
| O silly lover | B |
| And I was tired and sick that all was over | B |
| And because I | A |
| For all my thinking never could recover | B |
| One moment of the good hours that were over | B |
| And I was sorry and sick and wished to die | A |
| - | |
| Then from the sad west turning wearily | C |
| I saw the pines against the white north sky | A |
| Very beautiful and still and bending over | B |
| Their sharp black heads against a quiet sky | A |
| And there was peace in them and I | A |
| Was happy and forgot to play the lover | B |
| And laughed and did no longer wish to die | A |
| Being glad of you O pine trees and the sky | A |
