The Earthworm And The Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCDD| An Earthworm once loved a Star In the hush of the summer night | A |
| He lay quite close to the ground and gazed on its golden light | A |
| He looked from his house of clay and dreamed of wonderful things | B |
| Till lo as he thought his longing brought forth miraculous wings | B |
| - | |
| The Butterfly soared in the air straight toward the beckoning spark | C |
| His wings grew weary and chill but the Star smiled through the dark | C |
| His wings grew heavy and cold the wings that he dreamed love gave | D |
| And he folded them there in the starlight and the dust became his grave | D |
