An Evening Song Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EAEA| Look off dear Love across the sallow sands | A |
| And mark yon meeting of the sun and sea | B |
| How long they kiss in sight of all the lands | A |
| Ah longer longer we | B |
| - | |
| Now in the sea's red vintage melts the sun | C |
| As Egypt's pearl dissolved in rosy wine | D |
| And Cleopatra night drinks all 'Tis done | C |
| Love lay thine hand in mine | D |
| - | |
| Come forth sweet stars and comfort heaven's heart | E |
| Glimmer ye waves round else unlighted sands | A |
| O night divorce our sun and sky apart | E |
| Never our lips our hands | A |
