The Galaxy Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| Torrent of light and river of the air | A |
| Along whose bed the glimmering stars are seen | B |
| Like gold and silver sands in some ravine | B |
| Where mountain streams have left their channels bare | A |
| The Spaniard sees in thee the pathway where | A |
| His patron saint descended in the sheen | B |
| Of his celestial armor on serene | B |
| and quiet nights when all the heavens were fair | A |
| Not this I see nor yet the ancient fable | C |
| Of Phaeton's wild course that scorched the skies | D |
| Where'er the hoofs of his hot coursers trod | E |
| But the white drift of worlds o'er chasms of sable | C |
| The star dust that is whirled aloft and flies | D |
| From the invisible chariot wheels of God | E |
