In The Reading-room Of The British Museum Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBACBBA DEDEDE

Praised be the moon of books that doth aboveA
A world of men the fallen Past beholdB
And fill the spaces else so void and coldB
To make a very heaven again thereofA
As when the sun is set behind a groveC
And faintly unto nether ether rolledB
All night his whiter image and his mouldB
Grows beautiful with looking on her loveA
-
Thou therefore moon of so divine a rayD
Lend to our steps both fortitude and lightE
Feebly along a venerable wayD
They climb the infinite or perish quiteE
Nothing are days and deeds to such as theyD
While in this liberal house thy face is brightE
