The Spectrum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBCA BBADEBDEB| HOW 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 |
