Evening Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDDCEFFGHH| Evening as slow thy placid shades descend | A |
| Veiling with gentlest hush the landscape still | B |
| The lonely battlement the farthest hill | B |
| And wood I think of those who have no friend | A |
| Who now perhaps by melancholy led | C |
| From the broad blaze of day where pleasure flaunts | D |
| Retiring wander to the ring dove's haunts | D |
| Unseen and watch the tints that o'er thy bed | C |
| Hang lovely oft to musing Fancy's eye | E |
| Presenting fairy vales where the tir'd mind | F |
| Might rest beyond the murmurs of mankind | F |
| Nor hear the hourly moans of misery | G |
| Alas for man that Hope's fair views the while | H |
| Should smile like you and perish as they smile | H |
