Upon A Haystack On A Southern Night Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGHG IAJK| Upon a haystack in lands of South | A |
| I lay while facing skies of night | B |
| The choir of stars alive and couth | A |
| Was trembling spread at every side | C |
| - | |
| The earth mute as a dream half hidden | D |
| Was fast receding into space | E |
| And I as if the first in Eden | D |
| Alone met the black night s face | E |
| - | |
| Did I race to the depth profound | F |
| Or did the stars race strait to me | G |
| In mighty hands it seemed me how | H |
| I hanged above abysmal sea | G |
| - | |
| With heart so sinking and bewildered | I |
| I measured with my look a depth | A |
| Into which every moment sighted | J |
| I sink and nobody helps | K |
