Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA AAAA ACCA| When little lights in little ports come out | A |
| Quivering down through water with the stars | B |
| And all the fishing fleet of slender spars | B |
| Range at their moorings veer with tide about | A |
| - | |
| When race of wind is stilled and sails are furled | A |
| And underneath our single riding light | A |
| The curve of black ribbed deck gleams palely white | A |
| And slumbrous waters pool a slumbrous world | A |
| - | |
| Then and then only have I thought how sweet | A |
| Old age might sink upon a windy youth | C |
| Quiet beneath the riding light of truth | C |
| Weathered through storms and gracious in retreat | A |
