The Stars Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEEDE| THE terrible tranquillity of space | A |
| My soul shrinks back in sudden doubt I fear | B |
| The myriad eyes that through the ether peer | B |
| And chill the arrogance that dared to trace | A |
| The grave enigma of the cosmic face | A |
| Yet through the soundless night a voice austere | B |
| We that you deem afar are small and near | B |
| With lowly things and humble we have place | A |
| We are but smoke that from a burnt Past rears | C |
| The idle spray God's prow flings in its sweep | D |
| Through wider waters the mere dust that curls | E |
| From his vast chariot wheels as on He whirls | E |
| The futile sparks that from His anvil leap | D |
| Or drifting seeds pregnant of larger spheres | E |
