Moonlit Apples Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAB CCCB DDDE FFFE| At the top of the house the apples are laid in rows | A |
| And the skylight lets the moonlight in and those | A |
| Apples are deep sea apples of green There goes | A |
| A cloud on the moon in the autumn night | B |
| - | |
| A mouse in the wainscot scratches and scratches and then | C |
| There is no sound at the top of the house of men | C |
| Or mice and the cloud is blown and the moon again | C |
| Dapples the apples with deep sea light | B |
| - | |
| They are lying in rows there under the gloomy beams | D |
| On the sagging floor they gather the silver streams | D |
| Out of the moon those moonlit apples of dreams | D |
| And quiet is the steep stair under | E |
| - | |
| In the corridors under there is nothing but sleep | F |
| And stiller than ever on orchard boughs they keep | F |
| Tryst with the moon and deep is the silence deep | F |
| On moon washed apples of wonder | E |
