A Solar Eclipse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBC DEDEDE| In that great journey of the stars through space | A |
| About the mighty all directing Sun | B |
| The pallid faithful Moon has been the one | B |
| Companion of the Earth Her tender face | A |
| Pale with the swift keen purpose of that race | A |
| Which at Time's natal hour was first begun | B |
| Shines ever on her lover as they run | B |
| And lights his orbit with her silvery smile | C |
| - | |
| Sometimes such passionate love doth in her rise | D |
| Down from her beaten path she softly slips | E |
| And with her mantle veils the Sun's bold eyes | D |
| Then in the gloaming finds her lover's lips | E |
| While far and near the men our world call wise | D |
| See only that the Sun is in eclipse | E |
