Hesperus Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCEE| Down in the street the last late hansoms go | A |
| Still westward but with backward eyes of red | B |
| The harlot shuffles to her lonely bed | B |
| The tall policeman pauses but to throw | A |
| A flash into the empty portico | A |
| Then he too passes and his lonely tread | B |
| Links all the long drawn gas lights on a thread | B |
| And ties them to one planet swinging low | A |
| O Hesperus O happy star to bend | C |
| O'er Helen's bosom in the tranc d west | D |
| To watch the hours heave by upon her breast | D |
| And at her parted lip for dreams attend | C |
| If dawn defraud thee how shall I be deem'd | E |
| Who house within that bosom and am dreamed | E |
