Marginal Note Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHI| A ray of light to an oblique observer | A |
| Remains invisible in pure dry air | B |
| But shone into a turbid element | C |
| It throws distracting side gleams everywhere | B |
| - | |
| And is diminished by what takes the eye | D |
| So poetry that moves by chance collision | E |
| Scatters its brightness at each random mote | F |
| And mars the lucid order of its vision | E |
| - | |
| The purest meditation will appear | G |
| Faint or invisible to those who glance | H |
| Obliquely at its unreflected beam | I |
