The Spectrum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBCA BBADEBDEB

HOW many colors here do we see setA
Like rings upon God s finger Some say threeB
Some four some six some seven All agreeB
To left of red to right of violetC
Waits darkness deep as night and black as jetA
-
And so we know what Noah saw we seeB
Nor less nor more of God s emblazonryB
A shred a sign of glory known not yetA
If red can glide to yellow green to blueD
What joys may yet await our wider eyesE
When we rewake upon a wider shoreB
What deep pulsations exquisite and newD
What keener swifter raptures may surpriseE
Men born to see the rainbow and no moreB
