Light Of Stars, The Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABAC DEDE FGFG HIHI JKJL MEME NONO PQPR SCTC

The night is come but not too soonA
And sinking silentlyB
All silently the little moonA
Drops down behind the skyC
-
There is no light in earth or heavenD
But the cold light of starsE
And the first watch of night is givenD
To the red planet MarsE
-
Is it the tender star of loveF
The star of love and dreamsG
O no from that blue tent aboveF
A hero's armor gleamsG
-
And earnest thoughts within me riseH
When I behold afarI
Suspended in the evening skiesH
The shield of that red starI
-
O star of strength I see thee standJ
And smile upon my painK
Thou beckonest with thy mailed handJ
And I am strong againL
-
Within my breast there is no lightM
But the cold light of starsE
I give the first watch of the nightM
To the red planet MarsE
-
The star of the unconquered willN
He rises in my breastO
Serene and resolute and stillN
And calm and self possessedO
-
And thou too whosoe'er thou artP
That readest this brief psalmQ
As one by one thy hopes departP
Be resolute and calmR
-
O fear not in a world like thisS
And thou shalt know erelongC
Know how sublime a thing it isT
To suffer and be strongC
