Starlight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB CDEE FFGG AAHH IIJJ| Last night I lay in an open field | A |
| And looked at the stars with lips sealed | A |
| No noise moved the windless air | B |
| And I looked at the stars with steady stare | B |
| - | |
| There were some that glittered and some that shone | C |
| With a soft and equal glow and one | D |
| That queened it over the sprinkled round | E |
| Swaying the host with silent sound | E |
| - | |
| Calm things I thought in your cavern blue | F |
| I will learn and hold and master you | F |
| I will yoke and scorn you as I can | G |
| For the pride of my heart is the pride of a man | G |
| - | |
| Grass to my cheek in the dewy field | A |
| I lay quite still with lips sealed | A |
| And the pride of a man and his rigid gaze | H |
| Stalked like swords on heaven's ways | H |
| - | |
| But through a sudden gate there stole | I |
| The Universe and spread in my soul | I |
| Quick went my breath and quick my heart | J |
| And I looked at the stars with lips apart | J |
