The Burden Of The Suns Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA ACDACD| Wherefore thy burden and thy toil O Sun | A |
| Borne up the steep and hollow heavens afar | B |
| Thy worlds retard thee who wert else a star | B |
| Swift with white speed of many a lonelier one | A |
| And heaving mightily thy pulses run | A |
| Swollen with fires of effort Shall Mizar | B |
| Not pass thee or the suns of Algebar | B |
| And hopest thou to close with Procyon | A |
| - | |
| Howbeit thou and these thy starrier kin | A |
| Transcending thee strain ever tho apart | C |
| And with unequal speed within the same | D |
| Black maze of night and Time where all shall win | A |
| Tho with no path nor clue the hollow heart | C |
| Uncompassed and oblivious whence they came | D |
