Summer Evening At Home Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACCDEEDFFGGDDDDDD HI| Come lovely Evening with thy smile of peace | A |
| Visit my humble dwelling welcomed in | B |
| Not with loud shouts and the thronged city's din | B |
| But with such sounds as bid all tumult cease | A |
| Of the sick heart the grasshopper's faint pipe | C |
| Beneath the blades of dewy grass unripe | C |
| The bleat of the lone lamb the carol rude | D |
| Heard indistinctly from the village green | E |
| The bird's last twitter from the hedge row seen | E |
| Where just before the scattered crumbs I strewed | D |
| To pay him for his farewell song all these | F |
| Touch soothingly the troubled ear and please | F |
| The stilly stirring fancies Though my hours | G |
| For I have drooped beneath life's early showers | G |
| Pass lonely oft and oft my heart is sad | D |
| Yet I can leave the world and feel most glad | D |
| To meet thee Evening here here my own hand | D |
| Has decked with trees and shrubs the slopes around | D |
| And whilst the leaves by dying airs are fanned | D |
| Sweet to my spirit comes the farewell sound | D |
| That seems to say Forget the transient tear | H |
| Thy pale youth shed Repose and Peace are here | I |
