The Aurora Borealis Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEF| Now have I grown a sharpness and an edge | A |
| Unto my future nights and I will cut | B |
| Sheer through the ebon gates that yet will shut | B |
| On every set of day or as a sledge | A |
| Drawn over snowy plains where not a hedge | A |
| Breaks this Aurora's dancing nothing but | B |
| The one cold Esquimaux' unlikely hut | B |
| That swims in the broad moonlight Lo a wedge | A |
| Of the clean meteor hath been brightly driven | C |
| Right home into the fastness of the north | D |
| Anon it quickeneth up into the heaven | C |
| And I with it have clomb and spreaded forth | D |
| Upon the crisp and cooling atmosphere | E |
| My soul is all abroad I cannot find it here | F |
