After Sunset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCBCAAADDA| The vast and solemn company of clouds | A |
| Around the Sun's death lit incarnadined | B |
| Cool into ashy wan as Night enshrouds | A |
| The level pasture creeping up behind | B |
| Through voiceless vales o'er lawn and purpled hill | C |
| And haz d mead her mystery to fulfil | C |
| Cows low from far off farms the loitering wind | B |
| Sighs in the hedge you hear it if you will | C |
| Tho' all the wood alive atop with wings | A |
| Lifting and sinking through the leafy nooks | A |
| Seethes with the clamour of a thousand rooks | A |
| Now every sound at length is hush'd away | D |
| These few are sacred moments One more Day | D |
| Drops in the shadowy gulf of bygone things | A |
