At A Lunar Eclipse Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBA ABBA CDE CDE| Thy shadow Earth from Pole to Central Sea | A |
| Now steals along upon the Moon's meek shine | B |
| In even monochrome and curving line | B |
| Of imperturbable serenity | A |
| - | |
| How shall I link such sun cast symmetry | A |
| With the torn troubled form I know as thine | B |
| That profile placid as a brow divine | B |
| With continents of moil and misery | A |
| - | |
| And can immense Mortality but throw | C |
| So small a shade and Heaven's high human scheme | D |
| Be hemmed within the coasts yon arc implies | E |
| - | |
| Is such the stellar gauge of earthly show | C |
| Nation at war with nation brains that teem | D |
| Heroes and women fairer than the skies | E |
