On Looking Up By Chance At The Constellations Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCABCDEDFFEGGHHYou'll wait a long long time for anything much | A |
To happen in heaven beyond the floats of cloud | B |
And the Northern Lights that run like tingling nerves | C |
The sun and moon get crossed but they never touch | A |
Nor strike out fire from each other nor crash out loud | B |
The planets seem to interfere in their curves | C |
But nothing ever happens no harm is done | D |
We may as well go patiently on with our life | E |
And look elsewhere than to stars and moon and sun | D |
For the shocks and changes we need to keep us sane | F |
It is true the longest drout will end in rain | F |
The longest peace in China will end in strife | E |
Still it wouldn't reward the watcher to stay awake | G |
In hopes of seeing the calm of heaven break | G |
On his particular time and personal sight | H |
That calm seems certainly safe to last to night | H |
