An Evening In October Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEEFFGGHHIJKK LLMMNNOO| Evening has thrown her hushing garment round | A |
| This little world no harsh or jarring sound | A |
| Disturbs my reverie The room is dark | B |
| And kneeling at the window I can mark | B |
| Each light and shadow of the scene below | C |
| The placid glistening pools the streams that flow | C |
| Through the red earth left by the hurrying tide | D |
| The ridge of mountain on the farther side | D |
| Shewing more black for many twinkling lights | E |
| That come and go about the gathering heights | E |
| Below me lie great wharves dreary and dim | F |
| And lumber houses crowding close and grim | F |
| Like giant shadowed guardians of the port | G |
| With towering chimneys outlined tall and swart | G |
| Against the silver pools Two figures pace | H |
| The wharf in ghostly silence face from face | H |
| O'er the black line of mountain silver clear | I |
| In faint rose tint of vaporous evening air | J |
| Sinketh the bright suspicion of a wing | K |
| The slim curved moon who in shy triumphing | K |
| Hideth her face Above the rose tint pales | L |
| Into a silver opal hills and dales | L |
| Of cloudy glory fading high alone | M |
| Into a tender blue grey monotone | M |
| And then I thought ere that fair slender moon | N |
| Has rounded grown and full so soon so soon | N |
| Our hearts' desire accomplished we shall see | O |
| Dear one all light and joy and ecstasy | O |
