To Urania Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEFBAGAHIBJKLHMN O| Everything has its limit including sorrow | A |
| A windowpane stalls a stare Nor does a grill abandon | B |
| a leaf One may rattle the keys gurgle down a swallow | A |
| Loneliness cubes a man at random | C |
| A camel sniffs at the rail with a resentful nostril | D |
| a perspective cuts emptiness deep and even | E |
| And what is space anyway if not the | F |
| body's absence at every given | B |
| point That's why Urania's older than sister Clio | A |
| In daylight or with the soot rich lantern | G |
| you see the globe's pate free of any bio | A |
| you see she hides nothing unlike the latter | H |
| There they are blueberry laden forests | I |
| rivers where the folk with bare hands catch sturgeon | B |
| or the towns in whose soggy phone books | J |
| you are starring no longer farther eastward surge on | K |
| brown mountain ranges wild mares carousing | L |
| in tall sedge the cheekbones get yellower | H |
| as they turn numerous And still farther east steam | M |
| dreadnoughts or cruisers | N |
| and the expanse grows blue like lace underwear | O |
