Thief Of The Moon Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFGEGF| Thief of the moon thou robber of old delight | A |
| Thy charms have stolen the star gold quenched the moon | B |
| Cold cold are the birds that bubbling out of night | A |
| Cried once to my ears their unremembered tune | B |
| Dark are those orchards their leaves no longer shine | C |
| No orange's gold is globed like moonrise there | D |
| O thief of the earth's old loveliness once mine | C |
| Why dost thou waste all beauty to make thee fair | D |
| - | |
| Break break thy strings thou lutanists of earth | E |
| Thy musics touch me not let midnight cover | F |
| With pitchy seas those leaves of orange and lime | G |
| I'll not repent The world's no longer worth | E |
| One smile from thee dear pirate of place and time | G |
| Thief of old loves that haunted once thy lover | F |
