The Moon Is Up Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCE FGFGCECE HIHICECE

The moon is up the stars are brightA
the wind is fresh and freeB
We're out to seek the gold tonightA
across the silver seaB
The world is growing grey and oldC
break out the sails againD
We're out to see a Realm of GoldC
beyond the Spanish MainE
-
We're sick of all the cringing kneesF
the courtly smiles and liesG
God let Thy singing channel breezeF
lighten our hearts and eyesG
Let love no more be bought and soldC
for earthly loss or gainE
We're out to seek an Age of GoldC
beyond the Spanish MainE
-
Beyond the light of far CathayH
beyond all mortal dreamsI
Beyond the reach of night and dayH
Our El Dorado gleamsI
Revealing as the skies unfoldC
A star without a stainE
The Glory of the Gates of GoldC
beyond the Spanish MainE
