The Animalcule On Man Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEF GHGI FFFF| An animalcule in my blood | A |
| Rose up against me as I dreamed | B |
| He was so tiny as he stood | C |
| You had not heard him though he screamed | B |
| - | |
| He cried 'There is no Man ' | - |
| And thumped the table with his fist | D |
| Then died his day was scarce a span | E |
| That microscopic atheist | F |
| - | |
| Yet all the while his little soul | G |
| Within what he denied did live | H |
| Poor part how could he know the whole | G |
| And yet he was so positive | I |
| - | |
| And all the while he thus blasphemed | F |
| My solar system went its round | F |
| My heart beat on my head still dreamed | F |
| But my poor atheist was drowned | F |
