Galileo Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDEDCE| And yet it moves Ah Truth where wert thou then | A |
| When all for thee they racked each piteous limb | B |
| Wert thou in heaven and busy with thy hymn | B |
| When those poor hands convulsed that held thy pen | A |
| Art thou a phantom that deceives men | A |
| To their undoing or dost thou watch him | B |
| Pale cold and silent in his dungeon dim | B |
| And wilt thou ever speak to him again | A |
| It moves it moves Alas my flesh was weak | C |
| That was a hideous dream I'll cry aloud | D |
| How the green bulk wheels sunward day by day | E |
| Ah me ah me perchance my heart was proud | D |
| That I alone should know that word to speak | C |
| And now sweet Truth shine upon these I pray | E |
