Gracious Moonlight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBA CDDCCD| Even as the moon grows queenlier in mid space | A |
| When the sky darkens and her cloud rapt car | B |
| Thrills with intenser radiance from afar | B |
| So lambent lady beams thy sovereign grace | A |
| When the drear soul desires thee Of that face | A |
| What shall be said which like a governing star | B |
| Gathers and garners from all things that are | B |
| Their silent penetrative loveliness | A |
| - | |
| O'er water daisies and wild waifs of Spring | C |
| There where the iris rears its gold crowned sheaf | D |
| With flowering rush and sceptred arrow leaf | D |
| So have I marked Queen Dian in bright ring | C |
| Of cloud above and wave below take wing | C |
| And chase night's gloom as thou the spirit's grief | D |
