Sonnet Lxxx. To The Invisible Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEFGG| DARK and conceal'd art thou soft Evening's queen | A |
| And Melancholy's votaries that delight | B |
| To watch thee gliding through the blue serene | A |
| Now vainly seek thee on the brow of night | B |
| Mild Sorrow such as hope has not forsook | C |
| May love to muse beneath thy silent reign | D |
| But I prefer from some steep rock to look | C |
| On the obscure and fluctuating main | D |
| What time the martial star with lurid glare | E |
| Portentous gleams above the troubled deep | F |
| Or the red comet shakes his blazing hair | E |
| Or on the fire ting'd waves the lightnings leap | F |
| While thy fair beams illume another sky | G |
| And shine for beings less accursed than I | G |
