The Moon At The Fortified Pass Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIJK| The bright moon lifts from the Mountain of Heaven | A |
| In an infinite haze of cloud and sea | B |
| And the wind that has come a thousand miles | C |
| Beats at the Jade Pass battlements | D |
| China marches its men down Baideng Road | E |
| While Tartar troops peer across blue waters of the bay | F |
| And since not one battle famous in history | B |
| Sent all its fighters back again | G |
| The soldiers turn round looking toward the border | H |
| And think of home with wistful eyes | I |
| And of those tonight in the upper chambers | J |
| Who toss and sigh and cannot rest | K |
