The Moon, Offended Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCADEEFGGHIHB| Oh moon our fathers worshipped their love discreet | A |
| from the blue country s heights where the bright seraglio | B |
| the stars in their sweet dress go treading after you | C |
| my ancient Cynthia lamp of my retreat | A |
| do you see the lovers in their bed s happiness | D |
| showing in sleep their mouths cool enamels | E |
| the poet bruising his forehead on his troubles | E |
| or the vipers coupling under the dry grasses | F |
| Under your yellow cloak with clandestine pacing | G |
| do you pass as before from twilight to morning | G |
| to kiss Endymion s faded grace | H |
| I see your mother Child of this impoverished century | I |
| who over her mirror bends a time worn face | H |
| and powders the breast that fed you skilfully | B |
