Ignorant Before The Heavens Of My Life Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJKL| Ignorant before the heavens of my life | A |
| I stand and gaze in wonder Oh the vastness | B |
| of the stars Their rising and descent How still | C |
| As if I didn't exist Do I have any | D |
| share in this Have I somehow dispensed with | E |
| their pure effect Does my blood's ebb and flow | F |
| change with their changes Let me put aside | G |
| every desire every relationship | H |
| except this one so that my heart grows used to | I |
| its farthest spaces Better that it live | J |
| fully aware in the terror of its stars than | K |
| as if protected soothed by what is near | L |
