The First Sonnet Of Bathrolaire Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDCD| Over the moonless land of Bathrolaire | A |
| Rises at night when revelry begins | B |
| A white unreal orb a sun that spins | B |
| A sun that watches with a sullen stare | A |
| That dance spasmodic they are dancing there | A |
| Whilst drone and cry and drone of violins | B |
| Hint at the sweetness of forgotten sins | B |
| Or call the devotees of shame to prayer | A |
| And all the spaces of the midnight town | C |
| Ring with appeal and sorrowful abuse | D |
| There some most lonely are some try to crown | C |
| Mad lovers with sad boughs of formal yews | D |
| And Titan women wandering up and down | C |
| Lead on the pale fanatics of the muse | D |
