Human Knowledge Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIG| Since thou readest in her what thou thyself hast there written | A |
| And to gladden the eye placest her wonders in groups | B |
| Since o'er her boundless expanses thy cords to extend thou art able | C |
| Thou dost think that thy mind wonderful Nature can grasp | D |
| Thus the astronomer draws his figures over the heavens | E |
| So that he may with more ease traverse the infinite space | F |
| Knitting together e'en suns that by Sirius distance are parted | G |
| Making them join in the swan and in the horns of the bull | H |
| But because the firmament shows him its glorious surface | I |
| Can he the spheres' mystic dance therefore decipher aright | G |
