Other Stars. Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF CACAGGThe night is dark and yet it is not quite | A |
Those stars are hid that other orbs may shine | B |
Twin stars whose rays illuminate the night | A |
And cheer her gloom but only deepen mine | B |
For these fair stars are not what they do seem | C |
But vanish'd eyes remember'd in a dream | C |
- | |
The night is dark and yet it brings no rest | D |
Those eager eyes gaze on and banish sleep | E |
Though flaming Mars has lower'd his crimson crest | D |
And weary Venus pales into the deep | E |
These two with tender shining mock my woe | F |
From out the distant heaven of long ago | F |
- | |
The night is dark and yet how bright they gleam | C |
Oh empty vision of a vanish'd light | A |
Sweet eyes must you for ever be a dream | C |
Deep in my heart and distant from my sight | A |
For could you shine as once you shone before | G |
The stars might hide their rays for evermore | G |
