On Looking Up By Chance At The Constellations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDEDFFEGGHH

You'll wait a long long time for anything muchA
To happen in heaven beyond the floats of cloudB
And the Northern Lights that run like tingling nervesC
The sun and moon get crossed but they never touchA
Nor strike out fire from each other nor crash out loudB
The planets seem to interfere in their curvesC
But nothing ever happens no harm is doneD
We may as well go patiently on with our lifeE
And look elsewhere than to stars and moon and sunD
For the shocks and changes we need to keep us saneF
It is true the longest drout will end in rainF
The longest peace in China will end in strifeE
Still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awakeG
In hopes of seeing the calm of heaven breakG
On his particular time and personal sightH
That calm seems certainly safe to last to nightH
