To A Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCEFGFGHIIICJCJ KCLCMM| Thou little star that in the purple clouds | A |
| Hang'st like a dew drop in a violet bed | B |
| First gem of evening glittering on the shrouds | A |
| 'Mid whose dark folds the day lies pale and dead | B |
| As through my tears my soul looks up to thee | C |
| Loathing the heavy chains that bind it here | D |
| There comes a fearful thought that misery | C |
| Perhaps is found even in thy distant sphere | E |
| Art thou a world of sorrow and of sin | F |
| The heritage of death disease decay | G |
| A wilderness like that we wander in | F |
| Where all things fairest soonest pass away | G |
| And are there graves in thee thou radiant world | H |
| Round which life's sweetest buds fall withered | I |
| Where hope's bright wings in the dark earth lie furled | I |
| And living hearts are mouldering with the dead | I |
| Perchance they do not die that dwell in thee | C |
| Perchance theirs is a darker doom than ours | J |
| Unchanging woe and endless misery | C |
| And mourning that hath neither days nor hours | J |
| Horrible dream Oh dark and dismal path | K |
| Where I now weeping walk I will not leave thee | C |
| Earth has one boon for all her children death | L |
| Open thy arms oh mother and receive me | C |
| Take off the bitter burthen from the slave | M |
| Give me my birthright give the grave the grave | M |
