The Sadness Of The Moon - (twelve Translations From Charles Baudelaire) Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD DDE FFE| This evening the Moon dreams more languidly | A |
| Like a beauty who on mounded cushions rests | B |
| And with her light hand fondles lingeringly | A |
| Before she sleeps the slope of her sweet breasts | B |
| - | |
| On her soft satined avalanches' height | C |
| Dying she laps herself for hours and hours | D |
| In long long swoons and gazes at the white | C |
| Visions which rise athwart the blue like flowers | D |
| - | |
| When sometimes in her perfect indolence | D |
| She lets a furtive tear steal gently thence | D |
| Some pious poet a lone sleepless one | E |
| - | |
| Takes in his hollowed hand this gem shot through | F |
| Like an opal stone with gleams of every hue | F |
| And in his heart's depths hides it from the sun | E |
