The Spectrum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCA BBADEBDEBHOW many colors here do we see set | A |
Like rings upon God s finger Some say three | B |
Some four some six some seven All agree | B |
To left of red to right of violet | C |
Waits darkness deep as night and black as jet | A |
- | |
And so we know what Noah saw we see | B |
Nor less nor more of God s emblazonry | B |
A shred a sign of glory known not yet | A |
If red can glide to yellow green to blue | D |
What joys may yet await our wider eyes | E |
When we rewake upon a wider shore | B |
What deep pulsations exquisite and new | D |
What keener swifter raptures may surprise | E |
Men born to see the rainbow and no more | B |
