The Half Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABAB ABABAB| The half moon shows a face of plaintive sweetness | A |
| Ready and poised to wax or wane | B |
| A fire of pale desire in incompleteness | A |
| Tending to pleasure or to pain | B |
| Lo while we gaze she rolleth on in fleetness | A |
| To perfect loss or perfect gain | B |
| - | |
| Half bitterness we know we know half sweetness | A |
| This world is all on wax on wane | B |
| When shall completeness round time's incompleteness | A |
| Fulfilling joy fulfilling pain | B |
| Lo while we ask life rolleth on in fleetness | A |
| To finished loss or finished gain | B |
