The Meteorite Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCE FGFG HIHI JDJD| Among the hills a meteorite | A |
| Lies huge and moss has overgrown | B |
| And wind and rain with touches light | A |
| Made soft the contours of the stone | B |
| - | |
| Thus easily can Earth digest | C |
| A cinder of sidereal fire | D |
| And make her translunary guest | C |
| The native of an English shire | E |
| - | |
| Nor is it strange these wanderers | F |
| Find in her lap their fitting place | G |
| For every particle that's hers | F |
| Came at the first from outer space | G |
| - | |
| All that is Earth has once been sky | H |
| Down from the sun of old she came | I |
| Or from some star that travelled by | H |
| Too close to his entangling flame | I |
| - | |
| Hence if belated drops yet fall | J |
| From heaven on these her plastic power | D |
| Still works as once it worked on all | J |
| The glad rush of the golden shower | D |
