The Star Sirius Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECCE| Bright Sirius that when Orion pales | A |
| To dotlings under moonlight still art keen | B |
| With cheerful fervour of a warrior's mien | B |
| Who holds in his great heart the battle scales | A |
| Unquenched of flame though swift the flood assails | A |
| Reducing many lustrous to the lean | B |
| Be thou my star and thou in me be seen | B |
| To show what source divine is and prevails | A |
| Long watches through at one with godly night | C |
| I mark thee planting joy in constant fire | D |
| And thy quick beams whose jets of life inspire | E |
| Life to the spirit passion for the light | C |
| Dark Earth since first she lost her lord from sight | C |
| Has viewed and felt them sweep her as a lyre | E |
