Song For An Unwritten Play Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AABB BBCD BBEE FFBB| The moon's a drowsy fool to night | A |
| Wrapped in fleecy clouds and white | A |
| And all the while Endymion | B |
| Sleeps on Latmos top alone | B |
| - | |
| Not a single star is seen | B |
| They are gathered round their queen | B |
| Keeping vigil by her bed | C |
| Patient and unweari d | D |
| - | |
| Now the poet drops his pen | B |
| And moves about like other men | B |
| Tom o' Bedlam now is still | E |
| And sleeps beneath the hawthorn'd hill | E |
| - | |
| Only the Latmian shepherd deems | F |
| Something missing from his dreams | F |
| And tosses as he sleeps alone | B |
| Alas alas Endymion | B |
