The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABC DEEC FGHG IJKJ

Time wears her not she doth his chariot guideA
Mortality below her orb is placedB
RaleighC

-
The full orbed moon with unchanged rayD
Mounts up the eastern skyE
Not doomed to these short nights for ayeE
But shining steadilyC
-
She does not wane but my fortuneF
Which her rays do not blessG
My wayward path declineth soonH
But she shines not the lessG
-
And if she faintly glimmers hereI
And paled is her lightJ
Yet alway in her proper sphereK
She's mistress of the nightJ
