The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEEC FGHG IJKJTime wears her not she doth his chariot guide | A |
Mortality below her orb is placed | B |
Raleigh | C |

- | |
The full orbed moon with unchanged ray | D |
Mounts up the eastern sky | E |
Not doomed to these short nights for aye | E |
But shining steadily | C |
- | |
She does not wane but my fortune | F |
Which her rays do not bless | G |
My wayward path declineth soon | H |
But she shines not the less | G |
- | |
And if she faintly glimmers here | I |
And paled is her light | J |
Yet alway in her proper sphere | K |
She's mistress of the night | J |
