Skyfaring Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA BC CCB| Drifting through vacant spaces vast of sleep | A |
| One overtook me like a flying star | B |
| And whirled me onward in his glistering car | B |
| From shade to shade the wing d steeds did leap | A |
| And clomb the midnight like a mountain steep | A |
| Till that vague world where men and women are | B |
| Ev'n as a rushlight down the gulfs afar | B |
| Paled and went out upswallowed of the deep | A |
| - | |
| Then I to that ethereal charioteer | B |
| 'O whither through the vastness are we bound | C |
| O bear me back to yonder blinded sphere ' | - |
| Therewith I heard the ends of night resound | C |
| And wakened by ten thousand echoes found | C |
| That far off planet lying all too near | B |
