Sonnet To The Moon (written In November) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBACDCDDCDCEESublime emerging from the misty verge | A |
Of the horizon dim thee Moon I hail | B |
As sweeping o'er the leafless grove the gale | B |
Seems to repeat the year's funereal dirge | A |
Now Autumn sickens on the languid sight | C |
And leaves bestrew the wanderer's lonely way | D |
Now unto thee pale arbitress of night | C |
With double joy my homage do I pay | D |
When clouds disguise the glories of the day | D |
And stern November sheds her boisterous blight | C |
How doubly sweet to mark the moony ray | D |
Shoot through the mist from the ethereal height | C |
And still unchanged back to the memory bring | E |
The smiles Favonian of life's earliest spring | E |
