Lucifer In Starlight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBAACADDE| On a starr'd night Prince Lucifer uprose | A |
| Tired of his dark dominion swung the fiend | B |
| Above the rolling ball in cloud part screen'd | B |
| Where sinners hugg'd their spectre of repose | A |
| Poor prey to his hot fit of pride were those | A |
| And now upon his western wing he lean'd | B |
| Now his huge bulk o'er Afric's sands careen'd | B |
| Now the black planet shadow'd Arctic snows | A |
| Soaring through wider zones that prick'd his scars | A |
| With memory of the old revolt from Awe | C |
| He reach'd a middle height and at the stars | A |
| Which are the brain of heaven he look'd and sank | D |
| Around the ancient track march'd rank on rank | D |
| The army of unalterable law | E |
