Song Of The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGF HIHI| The moonlight breaks upon the city's domes | A |
| And falls along cemented steel and stone | B |
| Upon the grayness of a million homes | A |
| Lugubrious in unchanging monotone | B |
| Upon the clothes behind the tenement | C |
| That hang like ghosts suspended from the lines | D |
| Linking each flat to each indifferent | C |
| Incongruous and strange the moonlight shines | D |
| - | |
| There is no magic from your presence here | E |
| Ho moon sad moon tuck up your trailing robe | F |
| Whose silver seems antique and so severe | G |
| Against the glow of one electric globe | F |
| - | |
| Go spill your beauty on the laughing faces | H |
| Of happy flowers that bloom a thousand hues | I |
| Waiting on tiptoe in the wilding spaces | H |
| To drink your wine mixed with sweet drafts of dews | I |
