You Have Let The Beauty Of The Day Go Over Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI JKJK| You have let the beauty of the day go over | A |
| You have let the glory of the noon go by | B |
| Clouds from the West have gathered close and cover | A |
| All but a remnant now of our proud sky | B |
| - | |
| Dumbly the rain beats on our darkened faces | C |
| Hushed are the woods Alas for us no bird | D |
| Shall sing to day of pleasure in green places | C |
| No touch shall thrill no soul of leaves be stirred | D |
| - | |
| Why did we wait What faith was ours in fortune | E |
| What was our pride that fate should kneel to us | F |
| Oh we were fools Love loves not to importune | E |
| And he is silent here in this sad house | G |

| Alas dear love the day for us is ended | H |
| The pleasure of green fields of streams of skies | I |
| One hour remains one only of joy blended | H |
| With coming night Ah seize it ere it flies | I |
| - | |
| Draw fast the curtains Close the door on sorrow | J |
| Shut out the dusk It only makes us grieve | K |
| Here we may live a life and then to morrow | J |
| If fate still wills it we may take our leave | K |
