Silentia Lunae'from Ronsard Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAACCA DEFGGF| Hide this one night thy crescent kindly Moon | A |
| So shall Endymion faithful prove and rest | B |
| Loving and unawakened on thy breast | B |
| So shall no foul enchanter importune | A |
| Thy quiet course for now the night is boon | A |
| And through the friendly night unseen I fare | C |
| Who dread the face of foemen unaware | C |
| And watch of hostile spies in the bright noon | A |
| - | |
| Thou know'st O Moon the bitter power of Love | D |
| 'Tis told how shepherd Pan found ways to move | E |
| With a small gift thy heart and of your grace | F |
| Sweet stars be kind to this not alien fire | G |
| Because on earth ye did not scorn desire | G |
| Bethink ye now ye hold your heavenly place | F |
