When I Heard The Learned Astronomer Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJ| When I heard the learn'd astronomer | A |
| When the proofs the figures were ranged in columns before me | B |
| When I was shown the charts and diagrams to add divide | C |
| and measure them | D |
| When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with | E |
| much applause in the lecture room | F |
| How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick | G |
| Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself | H |
| In the mystical moist night air and from time to time | I |
| Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars | J |
