What is the organization of the poem "Having a Mind to Change the World" by Howard Nemerov? Look at lines, stanzas, sentences, and/or rhyme schemes. How does that affect the meaning of the poem?

Howard Nemerov's "Having A Mind To Change The World" is a poem written in one stanza and in free verse, meaning that there is no rhyme scheme or consistent syllabic meter. The free verse form of the poem means that it reads like natural speech, as if the speaker is spontaneously thinking aloud.
In the opening four lines of the poem, we are introduced to the poem's focus, which is the Republic's business of shifting the sun "through fifteen degrees of arc." The idea that the Republic can "shift the sun" is, of course, ludicrous and immediately lends to the poem a comic tone.
This comic tone is compounded in the middle part of the poem when Nemerov mockingly describes the process of shifting the sun. He describes the "twiddling (of) some knobs" and the "sun obedient . . . At the mere command of Democracy." The tone in the middle part of the poem is flippant and draws attention to the absurdity of the Republic's pride in thinking that it can move the sun.
This absurdity is emphasized further by the rhetorical question which concludes the poem. The speaker asks, "What shall be denied unto this people / That with a thought thus moves both heaven and earth?" Here the speaker is being sarcastic. He knows, of course, that these people cannot move heaven and earth and is mocking their mixture of arrogance and ignorance which makes them believe that they can.
