The Star Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEE FFGGDD BB| A white star born in the evening glow | A |
| Looked to the round green world below | A |
| And saw a pool in a wooded place | B |
| That held like a jewel her mirrored face | B |
| She said to the pool Oh wondrous deep | C |
| I love you I give you my light to keep | C |
| Oh more profound than the moving sea | D |
| That never has shown myself to me | D |
| Oh fathomless as the sky is far | E |
| Hold forever your tremulous star | E |
| - | |
| But out of the woods as night grew cool | F |
| A brown pig came to the little pool | F |
| It grunted and splashed and waded in | G |
| And the deepest place but reached its chin | G |
| The water gurgled with tender glee | D |
| And the mud churned up in it turbidly | D |
| - | |
| The star grew pale and hid her face | B |
| In a bit of floating cloud like lace | B |
