Moonset Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDECC FDFDCC| Idles the night wind through the dreaming firs | A |
| That waking murmur low | B |
| As some lost melody returning stirs | A |
| The love of long ago | B |
| And through the far cool distance zephyr fanned | C |
| The moon is sinking into shadow land | C |
| - | |
| The troubled night bird calling plaintively | D |
| Wanders on restless wing | E |
| The cedars chanting vespers to the sea | D |
| Await its answering | E |
| That comes in wash of waves along the strand | C |
| The while the moon slips into shadow land | C |
| - | |
| O soft responsive voices of the night | F |
| I join your minstrelsy | D |
| And call across the fading silver light | F |
| As something calls to me | D |
| I may not all your meaning understand | C |
| But I have touched your soul in shadow land | C |
