When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGH

When I heard the learn'd astronomerA
When the proofs the figures were ranged in columns before meB
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams to add divide and measure themC
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture roomD
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sickE
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myselfF
In the mystical moist night air and from time to timeG
Look'd up in perfect silence at the starsH
