The Moonlit Room Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBCDEFEFGHIHI know a room that's dark in daytime hours | A |
No sunbeams light it | B |
Whether in months of gloom or months of flowers | A |
So people slight it | B |
Yet in the noon of each succeeding night | C |
The moon shines in it | B |
Goldenly waking dreamers to delight | C |
For a love's minute | D |
In a dream light they sigh and burn and kiss | E |
And fall to slumber | F |
Deeply once more Thus bliss is piled on bliss | E |
In goodly number | F |
Praise first is giv'n to sunshine and to rooms | G |
Sunbright with reason | H |
Yet a wise man should choose a moonlit room | I |
In his blood's season | H |
