Sonnet To The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGHIJJ| The glitt'ring colours of the day are fled | A |
| Come melancholy orb that dwell'st with night | B |
| Come and o'er earth thy wand'ring lustre shed | A |
| Thy deepest shadow and thy softest light | B |
| To me congenial is the gloomy grove | C |
| When with faint light the sloping uplands shine | D |
| That gloom those pensive rays alike I love | E |
| Whose sadness seems in sympathy with mine | D |
| But most for this pale orb thy beams are dear | F |
| For this benignant orb I hail thee most | G |
| That while I pour the unavailing tear | H |
| And mourn that hope to me in youth is lost | I |
| Thy light can visionary thoughts impart | J |
| And lead the Muse to soothe a suff'ring heart | J |
