Sorrows Of The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDAD EFG FHG| Tonight the moon dreams in a deeper languidness | A |
| And like a beauty on her cushions lies at rest | B |
| While drifting off to sleep a tentative caress | A |
| Seeks with a gentle hand the contour of her breast | B |
| - | |
| As on a crest above her silken avalanche | C |
| Dying she yields herself to an unending swoon | D |
| And sees a pallid vision everywhere she d glance | A |
| In the azure sky where blossoms have been strewn | D |
| - | |
| When sometime in her weariness upon her sphere | E |
| She might permit herself to sheda furtive tear | F |
| A poet of great piety a foe of sleep | G |
| - | |
| Catches in the hollow of his hand that tear | F |
| An opal fragment iridescent as a star | H |
| Within his heart far from the sun it s buried deep | G |
