The poem lacks a regular rhyme scheme. Dickinson frequently used slant rhymes. In the first verse, for example, “that” rhymes with “state” but not precisely. The words “looks” and “Eclipse” in the second verse are examples of slant rhyme. While Dickinson neatly rhymes the words “compare” and “there” in the last verse. The words “then” and “pain” also sound very similar.
