Alfonso Churchill Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKCHLMNO| They laughed at me as Prof Moon | A |
| As a boy in Spoon River born with the thirst | B |
| Of knowing about the stars | C |
| They jeered when I spoke of the lunar mountains | D |
| And the thrilling heat and cold | E |
| And the ebon valleys by silver peaks | F |
| And Spica quadrillions of miles away | G |
| And the littleness of man | H |
| But now that my grave is honored friends | I |
| Let it not be because I taught | J |
| The lore of the stars in Knox College | K |
| But rather for this that through the stars | C |
| I preached the greatness of man | H |
| Who is none the less a part of the scheme of things | L |
| For the distance of Spica or the Spiral Nebul | M |
| Nor any the less a part of the question | N |
| Of what the drama means | O |
