The Waning Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDECDE| As pale and wan as vapours that at eve | A |
| Steal ghostly like across the darkling plain | B |
| Low in the twilight West the Moon doth wane | B |
| Night after night I marked her glories leave | A |
| The dark Earth of some brilliancy bereave | A |
| Till now a haggard shade the Moon is fain | B |
| To fly the rule she may no more maintain | B |
| The argent pomp and state her pale beams weave | A |
| - | |
| O queen forsake thine empire of the Night | C |
| And swiftly seek the regions dim to west | D |
| Whence may'st thou soon return and robed anew | E |
| In gleaming splendours of thy fuller light | C |
| As earthly quenns in jeweled robes are dressed | D |
| Hold court supreme within the starry blue | E |
