If Thou Indeed Derive Thy Light From Heaven Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGAHIJKLMDD| If thou indeed derive thy light from Heaven | A |
| Then to the measure of that heaven born light | B |
| Shine Poet in thy place and be content | C |
| The stars pre eminent in magnitude | D |
| And they that from the zenith dart their beams | E |
| Visible though they be to half the earth | F |
| Though half a sphere be conscious of their brightness | G |
| Are yet of no diviner origin | A |
| No purer essence than the one that burns | H |
| Like an untended watch fire on the ridge | I |
| Of some dark mountain or than those which seem | J |
| Humbly to hang like twinkling winter lamps | K |
| Among the branches of the leafless trees | L |
| All are the undying offspring of one Sire | M |
| Then to the measure of the light vouchsafed | D |
| Shine Poet in thy place and be content | D |
