The Stars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GHGI| ONLY the stars remain to travelers' eyes | A |
| Unalterable the waters change their hue | B |
| Beneath the flattery of alien skies | A |
| From jade to silver and from bronze to blue | B |
| - | |
| Sunrise and sunset spread their lovely light | C |
| As slow as solemn music in the North | D |
| But southward like a dart descends the night | C |
| And like a meteor the day breaks forth | D |
| - | |
| And faiths and manners vary friends they say | E |
| And even lovers of a constant mind | F |
| Not the light loves we meet upon our way | E |
| But those enchained by vows we left behind | F |
| - | |
| Only unchanged the patterned stars endure | G |
| As when they first assured or threatened man | H |
| Still Vega glitters crystalline and pure | G |
| Still like an angry eye Aldebaran | I |
