Sonnet Iv. To The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEGHH| QUEEN of the silver bow by thy pale beam | A |
| Alone and pensive I delight to stray | B |
| And watch thy shadow trembling in the stream | A |
| Or mark the floating clouds that cross thy way | B |
| And while I gaze thy mild and placid light | C |
| Sheds a soft calm upon my troubled breast | D |
| And oft I think fair planet of the night | C |
| That in thy orb the wretched may have rest | D |
| The sufferers of the earth perhaps may go | E |
| Released by death to thy benignant sphere | F |
| And the sad children of despair and woe | E |
| Forget in thee their cup of sorrow here | G |
| Oh that I soon may reach thy world serene | H |
| Poor wearied pilgrim in this toiling scene | H |

Tee Tune: sphere (line 10) and here (line 12) rhyme, so both should be indicated by "F," which makes the last to lines GG.
