Microcosmography Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| He looks beyond the veils of night and day | A |
| He hearkens in the silence and has heard | B |
| The ancient woods by dryad singing stirred | B |
| To mortal ears how thin and far away | A |
| With what gross laughter yet he turns to play | A |
| With slaves of vice and virtue and the herd | B |
| Of flopping little Calibans that gird | B |
| At muddy boots and call them feet of clay | A |
| Here you may loaf the valley or breast the hill | C |
| Dive deep for pearl or sink your shaft for gold | D |
| Or watch Love laughing flit in the summer nights | E |
| Sit by the mud and sniff it as you will | C |
| If you but lift your eyes an inch behold | D |
| The moving tide and broken glimmer of lights | E |
