A Late Lark Twitters From The Quiet Skies Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFG HIEJJKLMN OJPOBFQ

the quiet skiesA
And from the westB
Where the sun his day's work endedC
Lingers as in contentD
There falls on the old gray cityE
An influence luminous and sereneF
A shining peaceG
-
The smoke ascendsH
In a rosy and golden haze The spiresI
Shine and are changed In the valleyE
Shadows rise The lark sings on The sunJ
Closing his benedictionJ
Sinks and the darkening airK
Thrills with a sense of the triumphing nightL
Night with her train of starsM
And her great gift of sleepN
-
So be my passingO
My task accomplish'd and the long day doneJ
My wages taken and in my heartP
Some late lark singingO
Let me be gather'd to the quiet westB
The sundown splendid and sereneF
DeathQ
