Other Stars. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF CACAGG

The night is dark and yet it is not quiteA
Those stars are hid that other orbs may shineB
Twin stars whose rays illuminate the nightA
And cheer her gloom but only deepen mineB
For these fair stars are not what they do seemC
But vanish'd eyes remember'd in a dreamC
-
The night is dark and yet it brings no restD
Those eager eyes gaze on and banish sleepE
Though flaming Mars has lower'd his crimson crestD
And weary Venus pales into the deepE
These two with tender shining mock my woeF
From out the distant heaven of long agoF
-
The night is dark and yet how bright they gleamC
Oh empty vision of a vanish'd lightA
Sweet eyes must you for ever be a dreamC
Deep in my heart and distant from my sightA
For could you shine as once you shone beforeG
The stars might hide their rays for evermoreG
