At Eventide. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACD EFFEGG HIIHCC JKLHHJHH| The day fades fast | A |
| And backward ebbs the tide of light | B |
| From the far hills in billows bright | B |
| Scattering foam as they sweep past | A |
| O'er the low clouds that bank the sky | C |
| And barrier day off solemnly | D |
| - | |
| Above the land | E |
| Grey shadows stretch out still and cold | F |
| Flinging o'er water wood and wold | F |
| Mysterious shapes whose ghastly hand | E |
| Presses down sorrow on the heart | G |
| And silence on the lips that part | G |
| - | |
| The dew mist broods | H |
| Heavy and low o'er field and fen | I |
| Like gloom above the souls of men | I |
| And through the forest solitudes | H |
| The fitful night wind rustles by | C |
| Breathing many a wailing sigh | C |
| - | |
| O Day O Life | J |
| Ending in gloom together here | K |
| Though not one star of Hope appear | L |
| Still through the cold bleak Future gaze | H |
| That mocks thee with its murky haze | H |
| Soon morn shall end the doubt the strife | J |
| And give unto thy weeping eyes | H |
| The far night guarded Paradise | H |
