At Sea Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGF HIHI JKLK MNMN

As night hath stars more rare than shipsA
In ocean faint from pole to poleB
So all the wonder of her lipsA
Hints her innavigable soulB
-
Such lights she gives as guide my barqueC
But I am swallowed in the swellD
Of her heart's ocean sagely darkC
That holds my heaven and holds my hellD
-
In her I live a mote minuteE
Dancing a moment in the sunF
In her I die a sterile shootG
Of nightshade in oblivionF
-
In her my elf dissolves a grainH
Of salt cast careless in the seaI
My passion purifies my painH
To peace past personalityI
-
Love of my life God grant the yearsJ
Confirm the chrism rose to roodK
Anointing loves asperging tearsL
In sanctifying solitudeK
-
Man is so infinitely smallM
In all these stars determinateN
Maker and moulder of them allM
Man is so infinitely greatN
