       I like this poem because it has a nice flow.  In every verse it creates some sort of imagery that really help sit capture the feeling.  For example, in this line it creates lot's imagery by using poetic language and descriptive words, giving you a time and setting, "With your soft eyes closed and your pulses stilled

Lying alone, aside, Do you ever think of me, left in the light, From the endless calm of your dawnless night?"  I like how he portrays his thoughts to her like he's asking her questions as if he believes she's still their.  "I keep your memory near my heart, My brilliant, beautiful guiding Star ,Till long life over, I too depart To the infinite night where perhaps you are" I like section because it kind of ties the loose ends together by saying he's faithful and how he won't forget her and she is is guiding him to the light where she is.  I think the rhyme scheme in this poem is ABBACC.
