The Sadness Of The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDED FGF GHH| THE Moon more indolently dreams to night | A |
| Than a fair woman on her couch at rest | B |
| Caressing with a hand distraught and light | A |
| Before she sleeps the contour of her breast | B |
| - | |
| Upon her silken avalanche of down | C |
| Dying she breathes a long and swooning sigh | D |
| And watches the white visions past her flown | E |
| Which rise like blossoms to the azure sky | D |
| - | |
| And when at times wrapped in her languor deep | F |
| Earthward she lets a furtive tear drop flow | G |
| Some pious poet enemy of sleep | F |
| - | |
| Takes in his hollow hand the tear of snow | G |
| Whence gleams of iris and of opal start | H |
| And hides it from the Sun deep in his heart | H |
