The Garden By Moonlight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHIJGKLGMNOPGG GQIR| A black cat among roses | A |
| Phlox lilac misted under a first quarter moon | B |
| The sweet smells of heliotrope and night scented stock | C |
| The garden is very still | D |
| It is dazed with moonlight | E |
| Contented with perfume | F |
| Dreaming the opium dreams of its folded poppies | G |
| Firefly lights open and vanish | H |
| High as the tip buds of the golden glow | I |
| Low as the sweet alyssum flowers at my feet | J |
| Moon shimmer on leaves and trellises | G |
| Moon spikes shafting through the snowball bush | K |
| Only the little faces of the ladies' delight are alert and staring | L |
| Only the cat padding between the roses | G |
| Shakes a branch and breaks the chequered pattern | M |
| As water is broken by the falling of a leaf | N |
| Then you come | O |
| And you are quiet like the garden | P |
| And white like the alyssum flowers | G |
| And beautiful as the silent sparks of the fireflies | G |
| Ah Beloved do you see those orange lilies | G |
| They knew my mother | Q |
| But who belonging to me will they know | I |
| When I am gone | R |
